Spark plugs?

Replace them, yay or nay??

minus the fact the gap looks WAY too big, Id say they look like they still got life in em... but if your mis-firing or running poorly you may want to consider it.

Stay clear of platinums, our cars don't like em. If your stock get you some good old ACDelcos, if modded consult Blue's post accordingly for the right ones

autolites

Im stock, if i had an autozone id be set lol.. stupid canada.. NGK and Champion are what ive got around me.. i was gonna do wires and plug at same time.. but wanted to make sure it was needed..

It was a ***** to get it out as you can see the rust on em for some reason.. i figured they might be toast because the electrode is super small and gappy

Im sure champions would be just as good, just get the plain jane copper cores instead of platinums... just look up which ones are interchangable with autolites. I dunno if NGK has plain old plugs, they strike me as more a fancy gimmick brand..

Happens after long term use. They eventually wear down, but those have probably been on the car a while. Factory calls for a (ACDelco #41-101) (IRIDIUM) plug... ring up at $10.00US from the dealer, but most autoparts stores can usually sell them for less. Or you can pick up some autolites if you don't wanna put your wallet in pain lol

Gap looks fine - but what do we know? Check it with a proper iridium plug gapping tool. Spark plugs look clean. 2005's shipped with iridium plugs anyway (might even be NGK's... I forget). When you do roll past 100,000 miles on those plugs, go with stock Delco, NGK or Autolite iridiums. Don't hear much about Champions, good or bad.

electrode is supposed to be small.

Thats the point of double plats or iridiums.

AC Delco 41-101.

Let us know how it runs after.

Unless it's been changed somewhere in the past year, then it's time for new plugs.
