Thumbs down New guy..first cruiser...

Hi,

Be gentle! loll

A couple of questions.

1) I have just purchased a 2006, turbo-lite, convertible w/ 26,000 miles on it. I would like to replace plugs and wires b/4 winter. Researching here has given me a bit of a headache I am leaning to iridium plugs NGK?? and these wires found on ebay: PT CRUISER TURBO 10.2MM RACING SPARK PLUG WIRES BLUE:eBay Motors (item 260403263272 end time Nov-27-09 13:28:17 PST)

Sound ok? What gap? I have seen .040 and .028 to .032 posted..

2) I have seen a strut tower bar advertised. Would that improve anything on an 06 vert? It seems to have a tendency to have front end shimmy over slight bumps, windshield shakes a bit etc.. To the best of my ability, I have looked at tie rod ends, bushings etc...(Maybe this is just a vert thing??)

3) This one is a bit... well hard to ask.. How fast should the starter crank the engine over? Car starts fine BUT the engine seems to crank slow. (At least slower than the other cars I have owned unless the batteries were low) No warning codes...should I have the battery checked??

Thanks in advance..

Kerry
