speedometer \ spark plugs

Postby deepseadcs » Tue Mar 14, 2006 8:16 pm

hi lads, just installed new denso iridium IK22 spark plug, I notice big difference in speed. But I noticed my speedometer is not working do you have any idea where can I check this?

The old spark plug is denso PK20PR-P11. do you know for what model is this?

Thanks,

Any idea how many miles were on the old plugs? I'm looking at swapping out my Platinums for Iridiums pretty soon, theres about 40k kms on the Platinums, I know theres probably plenty of life left in them but I'm a fan of prevenative maintanence ;)

Mainly longer life, a more efficient spark (i.e. potential performance increases) and economy benefits, see here for more info.
