Area Representative z7 Posted July 11, 2013 Area Representative Share Posted July 11, 2013 I haven't had much joy with my Poor running, and idle, though, tbh, I haven't had much time to give it. Anyway, I'm also considering checking and/or replacing the sparkplugs and HT leads. They're over 6 years old so possibly overdue. What plugs and leads do you use 🤔 I'm running a standard unmolested 2ltr (Raceline) unit. Cheers z7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molecular--Bob Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Mine is stock apart from ARP rod bolts and is just running standard ford stuff. Seems happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Adil, As mine has been uprated by Raceline I think Pete recommended some NGK plugs, but I have the original Ford ones lying around that you can have, if interested. Also I when I managed to damage one of my leads last year I simply went to Bristol Street Motors on Masons Hill and replaced it with a standard Ford part (by that I mean all the leads are standard parts). I think the cost was £18-ish. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative z7 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 11, 2013 Cheers guys, I thought some were running somthing other than standard, and was curious to know. But good to know stock items are being used. Indeed, when I asked a 7 Zetec specialist about it years ago his answer was: Ford have spent millions devloping the engine, their 'plugs are probably therefore the best to use. Chris, I know you document your 7 well; if you have the NGK part no., would you let me have it please? I spoke to Chris at Raceline but he couldn't recall it off the top of his head; and the look-up book at Halfords leaves me doubtful I've bought the corrrect ones. Here's an interesting, and worrying find. When I removed all the 'plugs today, they were all Motocraft but two were AYFS 22P1 and two were AYFS 22PG1. I've been running these for years ❗ Web searching brought up almost nothing for them. *confused* cheers z7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Adil, I've always used the NGK PLTR6A-10G, but mine is the 2.0 Blacktop. I can't recall which Zetec version you have..... I know some use the PTR5A-10 as well. Edited by - Aeroscreens on 12 Jul 2013 07:47:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative z7 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 12, 2013 Cheers, Chris. PTR5A-10 is the one I bought yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
