Good question. I was wondering the same thing.Why didn't Ford release revised 1-piece plugs or have the supplier change the design? Instead they revise the cylinder heads...
Good question. I was wondering the same thing.
Hey all,
just traded an 3GT for an 08 GT and came over here to see what was happening. Saw thie plug thread and got to wondering if the 08's have the same problem? If so, I think I will do the same thing before any carbon builds up - only 580 mi. on the clock so I shouldn't have that problem yet!
Klaw, did you get a chance to look over post #105 ? The valve cover code If I'm not mistaken, appears to indicate the new head/spark plug type
Hi all,
Well I decided to check my plugs after 25000 Km. They came out without hesitation, there is minimal carbon buildup. I put a little of the nickel anti seize and screw them back in. The problem now is that the engine has a rough idle and hesitates when accelerating upto approx. 2K rpm. I thought that I might have put too much anti seize on the plugs and it ran down to the electrode, so I pulled the plugs back out and they are like new. I then decided to clean the MAF sensor but still the engine is not running smooth.
Anyone has an idea of what might be causing this? Thanks.
