    Spark Plugs

    The person at NAPA told me the Autolite 5224 sparkplug was the best fit for my accord dx 1990 , when I asked for the spark plugs. Is this correct?

    I don't know how to explain it but after replacing the sparkplugs I feel like a vibration on the steering wheel. It just doesn't feel the same

          Theres not that much difference in A-quality sparkplugs. (Denso and Bosch are great too (Dont know if thats available in your country)

          I got a preference for NGK platinums tho, just feels right.

            I just replaced the sparkplugs from autolite to platinum NGK . Car is back to what it was. The difference is quite noticeable.

              ^^^ This. NGK or nothing.

              For some reason I have had several vehicles (all Fords) that hated anything but Autolites. And CB's seem to hate those Bosch multiple ground electrode pieces of shit. I haven't seen them in a while and I hope the reason why is because they don't make them anymore. Anything else I never tried. When I tried Bosch plugs I was young and didn't know any better.

              Always use what the manufacturer recommends. If it's a Honda get NGK's, if you cannot find NGK's (for some very odd reason) then see about Denso's.

              The funny thing is the Autolites are $3 each as where the proper NGK's are $2.25 each. Looks like someone upsaled on your ass!

                never use autolites in anything other than a ford. The entire ignition system, if not the entire engine is designed around the spark plugs. So always use the correct plugs.
                For the love of god, STOP putting H.I.D's in stock housings!!! Projectors ONLY!!!

                  Autolites are an OE replacement plug for other makes as well. Motorcraft on the other hand is a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury specific OE plug. But as with every plug manufacturer they make plugs for other makes as well it's just not advised to do so under typical conditions.

                  What can be said here to sum it up is only use OE recommended plugs. For CB's that is NGK & Denso.

                  Honda Part # 98079-5514G or ZFR5F-11 for NGK.

                  Honda Part # 98079-5515G or KJ16CR-L11 for Denso.

                  This is not true for those who are FI or N20. There are a variety of other plugs that can be used in that case.

                    To expand upon that, you would use a cooler plug, (Also for hotter environments or extended high speed runs) which is a higher number in the part number nomenclature ie: NGK ZFR6F-11 vs NGK ZFR5F-11. However online honda dealerships list both the 5 & 6 as OE replacements.
                    Me being in central illinois I could get away with 5's, If i moved to Arizona Id probably run 6's as stock replacements.

                      And there is the rest of the information!

                      I was about to go into that but I got lazy. Since it became as in depth as it did we might as well go all the way!

                        Denso and NGK are the only plugs I would ever use on my car. I've used Bosch in the past, and they were junk. Autolite is also junk.
                        They may work... but they're not right. Denso and NGK.

                        As for wires (leads), NGK is good. Sumitomo (OEM) is the best.

                          Not to mention Sumitomo wires are about $10 cheaper. But I'm to lazy to go to the dealership. I'd rather have them show up on my porch. Actually my dealership is located in a traffic accident prone part of town. And the idiots who work there like to drive the new cars through the parking lot a bit fast and it makes me cringe thinking I might tango my rust box with a new $20,000 car. And I have to drive all the way through the parking lot to the very back to get to the parts counter. Even past the service department.

                          Some cars I have done things in the bay to where it looked good with the blue wires, other not so much. I still run them though.

                            I searched and searched for my receipt to my replacement lifetime wires and it seems I have lost them. Oh well. I read that the NGK are OEM replacements but that Somitomo are where its at. Something about NGK misfires or something likke that.

                            Where did ya find the sumitomos for so cheap? I usually see them about double the price of NGK.

                            P.S. I think people just rock NGK wires for the color but IDK.

                              I have never had any issues with NGK wires. I have been running them for years.

                              http://www.hondapartscheap.com/auto-...park-plug-scat

                              Sumitomo wires, $37.81

                              I pay just under $50 for NGK wires with the coil wire. Without coil wire I think it's just above $40 but I'm not sure.
