    Stock replacement is SP432. Cooler for Trilogy cars is SP505. Never heard of an SP417, but the way Ford's numbering scheme works, that would be a hotter plug than stock.

    Are you sure it's a COP problem? Try cleaning the MAF, that may resolve.

    Also make sure they have a warrant before letting them under the hood.

    Worst joke ever...

    Another Hijack..... sorry.

    List of spark plugs for a 4.6l DOHC:

    Stock Heat Range

    Autolite –104
    Autolite Double Platinum – APP104
    Autolite Iridium / Xtreme Performance – XP104
    Champion Copper Plus – RS12YC
    Champion Platinum Power – 3401
    Champion Double Platinum – 7963
    Champion Iridium – 9204
    Bosch – BSH7571
    Bosch Platinum – BSH4205
    Bosch Platinum+2 – BSH4305
    Bosch Platinum+4 – BSH4458
    NGK V Power – TR55
    NGK G Power Platinum – TR55GP
    NGK Laser Platinum – PTR5C-13
    NGK Irdium IX – TR55IX
    AC Delco – R42LTS6
    AC Delco Platinum – 41810

    Colder Heat Range
    NGK – TR6 (+1 colder)
    Autolite Iridium / Xtreme Performance – XP103 (+1 colder)

    FYI..........

    • I'd never run Champion plugs in a Ford motor.
    • All the plugs that have a gimmick are just that ... a gimmick aka: snake oil...
    • Examples: Pulstar. Halo, DTS-i Triple Spark, E3, fire injector spark plugs,


    Oh... before you ask, going to a colder plug will not change anything unless you have a tune to take advantage of the colder heat range.

    Whats cheaper, spending $180 then another $240 a year later, or spending $240 and lasting 10 years.

    Your call.

    So if I'm going to run a tune I should go with the SP505 vs SP432?

    If your tune or tuner compensates for it... yes.

    your are absolutely right, just sucks because it feels like you are throwing money at the car to fix a problem that exist but cannot be pinpointed.....ie if its not the ignition coil set, then spend more money on another part that "might" fix it. iac, egr...what else could it be lol.

    so basically these http://www.buyfordracing.com/product...-COIL-SET.html
