I am putting in Bosch Premium wire set ... and Bosch Platinum 2 plugs ... is that ok? and, should I put anything on them to make the easier to get out? The plugs say they give more powerful spark. Should I not put them in? Roy,
I thought the platinum plugs gave some users probs - the factory plugs seem to be the faves. And if they don't come with a little anti-seize on the threads, some put a dab on. And don't over-torque (I don't remember the spec off the top of my head). Don't forget to run the new wires exactly like the OEM's (with attention to the cyl 1 and cyl 4 placement because of its interaction with the computer).
Kirk is good to give the science and detail behind this stuff - Kirk, you hearing this? (smile)
Don't forget some silicone grease on the boots. NGK-V's are my preferred plug for my Saturn.

What do you mean Cyl placement? Do you mean Firing Order?

...cables that feed cyl 1 and cycl 4 have to be next to each other at the coil packs - I have a picture at
...wow, that speaks for itself - thanks! Are you on the same engine (just curious)?
In my many experiences I have found Bosch plugs to be flat junk. Check the wires with an ohm meter to make sure they are good! I have run into many brand new sets with at least one or 2 nearly or totally shot wires.
