Re: Spark Plug question

BUY NGK PLUGS, they are a fine wire plug and what came in the car. Follow how NGK says to torque them.

Re: Unstable revs when coming to standstill

you will not get any faults for this. The only thing that may show is a check engine light for a rich condition if real dirty.

Re: Unstable revs when coming to standstill

RE: Tire ?

The front tire looked real close to one of the suspension arms they said and were concerned. It sounds like I need to have the tire shop I use all the time do a mount and see on monday.

Thanks

Tire ?

I had a 275/30-19 fitted on one wheel to see fit and clearance issues. Way to close for comfort. The tire is a michelin pilot A/S. Are the wider tires to be that close? Or should I use a thin spacer?
