Re: triple electrode plugs

The triple electrode plugs (for the 2.8L V6) do not look like your ordinary
plug. Instead of having one ground electrode that bends over the center
electrode, there are three that come from the sides and create three "gaps"
on the side of the center electrode.  The tip of the center electrode is
exposed to the combustion chamber. I am guessing that instead of just one
spark/flame front, there are three created when it fires, ending in much
better combustion. I was told to not use anything else in this car with this
engine. The people I spoke to said that when other plugs have been tried, the
car did not run right. I took his advice. My car runs beautifully.

I bought mine from a mail order company, but I think they are a regular
stocking item at the dealer. (I was buying a K&N filter from this company, so
I ordered the plugs also); I bought them from Strano's (68 White St.,
Brookville, PA 15825; 1-800-729-1831) for
$4.32 apiece. (Mine were part #F6DTC-1); You'll have to check whether they
make them for the 5KCST and if they are recommended.

Good luck! Keep it under 90!
