What kind of Protege do you have? I used to lurk on toprotege back in my Escort GT days (BP fan for life! :D)

i have a 2002 protege5.. yeah we still have quite a few BP guys as well. don't get me started on my car! i burn a quart of oil every week! (most likely a cracked ring or seal) :( gf's focus on the other hand has been relatively trouble free. she had her fuel pump go on her once, then it was replaced under warranty, and then it was replaced again under recall for an improved version)

ok i'll go with the motorcraft plugs.. while i'm at it can someone mention the part number? does the spark plug gapping have to be adjusted at all?
