I just had my engine replaced. Less than 4000 miles on new engine. Called the stealership and was told that when they replaced engine they put the old plugs and wires back on.

I went to three area part stores yesterday and they had no sparkplugs that are equal to the oe ones. One of the people at auto zone said they didn't carry anything that he would feel comfortable selling me. Atleast he ws honest.
