Good points. Perhaps I need to be more clear. I run my Dak very little,
only 5k miles/year. It is a little stumbly when I first start it and I think it
could idle a tad better. (BTW I have a 1998 wirh 17k miles)
I have read that the AC Delco plugs with the splines on the center electrode
and splitfire tend to improve starting and idle. I was wondering if the Bosch
+4 would give the same sort of improvement. Just a thought.
What plugs have you guys tried that have improved idling and starting?
Drive Safe,
Joe
