spark plug question

[greasemonkeyjmj]

hey folks i am changing plugs and wires on my wifes 07 base edition with 47k miles, it still has the originals on it. i am using crane firewires and NGK 4306 plugs. will these plugs work with the non turbo engine ? thanks

I used Autolite AP5263, many use Champion 7570 gapped at .040. Don't forget to use anti seize on the plug threads and dielectric grease on the boots. Torque plugs to 13 foot pounds, snug tighten the intake manifold in this order: 5,3,1,2,4

I searched NGK and they have 4 different plugs for the Non-Turbo PT and one of them is the 4306, so YES they will fit. I think it says they comes gapped at .050 so you need to drop that down to about .042 or .040 Don't forget to use Hooligan's advise on the previous thread about the dielectric grease and Anti-Seize.

cool thread guys I am going to attempt to change my spark plugs and wires this saturday....its gonna be my first time changing them on my PT

You can use the sticky on changing plugs and wires that's on top of the Tech & performance section. You don't have the EGR pipe so you can skip that part of it. It makes it a lot easier.

thanks Crewzin I just printed out those directions and thanks for the tip about the EGR pipe

For the non-Turbo you'll want the 5306. They are a hotter plug and will burn fuel more efficiently. As said, check the gap is about .040 - .042. The 4306 are more appropriate for stock Turbo PT Cruisers as the colder plug range helps prevent detonation under boost.

I replaced mine with the 2313..they seem to be working fine.

ok so all went good today I replaced my spark plugs with Champion Iridium Plugs. Also changed my motor oil too Royal Purple today. Plus a month ago I changed the pcv valve. So with all this done I will see how my MPG has changed or if it improved at all.

But thanks to the directions here changing them was pretty easy today...

Did you have to grind down a socket to get them in? I'm wondering if they re-designed them....
