  1. Spark Plug Check

    Yeah thats a small gap Ford specs already reduced gap appropriately.
  2. Spark Plug Check

    Its common to reduce gap in turbo engine cause of so much cylinder pressure spark can struggle to jump the gap. But it looks like Ford specifies small gap already. My old SRT4 factory gap spec around .050 and I reduced to .032 to prevent misfires since I bent waste gate arm to up boost a few PSI.

  10. Dear Ford: Service & Reliability Experience

    I been lurking around on Honda Pilot forums and tons of ppl lemon lawing brand new Hondas. Given the Passports long in the tooth design I think your chances are better then Pilot. Hondas are far far far from inflatable vehicles. Buyer beware.
