red-finder Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I just put a new set of NGK V-Power plugs in and they run good, but anything is better than what I had. I don't think the plugs had ever been changed, and I have 139,000 miles now. I am going to get the NGK wires too. This is the cheapest I have found them.

Mr. Pickles Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 How about just buying a set of Accel or similar buil-your-own for a V8, then slide the long boots off the old wires and onto the new ones. The local shops sell those wires for like $35, and you can pick your color. Did the Bosch Platinum 2's and they were ok, the cap and rotor set me back like $40 at Napa, and was way higher at the other stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I just got done with the whole tune up oil change thing, I didnt change my wires, the stock Pathfinder wires are pretty stout and the boots and distributor clips were all in great shape. I had bought a set of Accel 8mm triple silicon wires and put the ohm meter on them and compared it to my stock wires and the Pathfinders had less resistence then the accels so I took them back and stuck with my old ones. I did splurge on the Bosch+4 plugs at the tune of $5 each but well worth it if the hype is true. I havnt noticed a dramatic change but I didnt have any complaints prior to the tune up, one thing, it was really hard to get the spark plugs out, I think they were the original NGK, the threads were gritty and looked rusted but the new ones went in with no problem.

robinasu Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I just swapped in 6 NGK V-powers, bosch cap/rotor/wires.. after I patched up the cracked 1/4 inch vacuum hoses and timed the beast she ran very smoothly. Hey, what is up with spark plug heat? My old plugs came out really white, which I gather indicates overheating or an overheat. I did overheat one time BAD pulling a trailor up the I-10 grade right before Palm Springs in 95 degrees.. man that was a close one. No fluid left! The Pathfinder V6 really is bulletproof. ..all caused by a cracked radiator cap seal... luckily I was able to coast down the grade and to a gas station. Anyway, I saw the sevice manual had part numbers for hot, normal, and cold.. What do you guys recommend? Hot plugs will cause pinging, right?
