the spark plugs are NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs and ya the car was runing fine, i have checked the timing ealryier when the car ran with a timing light and it was fine .the same day i checked the timing i also played around withthe cas it was fine too, the only reason i checked all this was because the car was sluggish , i later realized it was because the fuel pump was shity changed that and the car was amazing .but since then not luck. ---
