Hi
I once heard that on an SRX the plugs should be replaced as a set. Is there any thruth to this? I looked and I have two br9ecs plugs with a solid cap (terminal?) and one with a screw on. Should I replace them so all are the same? The sled runs just fine, idles just fine and performance is just fine. Should I get new plugs anyway?

run it, although those screw in caps were a pain in the *** if they got stuck in caps. 3:16x (yammie tony)
Thanks, I was hoping to get a reply from you Tony.

no need to, as long as they are the same spec plug
They are all br9ecs but with different heads (terminals)
If they get stuck in the cap, I just replace the cap. Is there a way to get them out without enlarging the "clamp" inside the cap?

Just screw the plug back in the cap and pull out usually works for me.

ya you should be able to screw them back to grab it out , just make sure that one is tight on plug, you will be fine. 3:16x (yammie tony)

On the screw cap plug you can squeeze it down the base with it off then thread it back on. Squish it just enough to make it oval then it will have a little friction on the threads to stay put. I don't buy thread on plugs for that reason anymore. I had 1 plug foul last winter (I think it was caused by a dirty tors switch engaging all the time) and I replaced just that one. When I pulled them in the spring to fog it you couldn't tell it had less time on it, they all looked the same.

This is the design flaw of the e3 plugs i was talking about. The little cap is held on by literally 1.5 threads. All 3 of mine stripped off and got stuck in caps. I jbwelded them on to get home.

Oh and i change all 3 at a time because ocd or something kicks in when 2 plugs are corroded and one is shiney. I just keep the others as spares.
