Anyone change the following?
Was wondering has anyone change their spark plug wires, distributor cap, and ignition rotor?
Anyone using ngk premium spark plug wires? if so did you feel the difference?

lots of people use NGK wires, as far as i'm aware they're good but not really "life-alteringly better than stock" or anything.

As far as the cap and rotor go, they are only so complex- so the only thing I would particularly look for were brass contacts- BWD Select's ignition components always use brass contacts and are only a few more bucks- no need in spending $100+ for NGK or OEM caps.

oh of course, but i meant NGK won't be life-alteringly better compared to new OEM wires, not the old nasty used ones. not until you're making way more than stock power to begin with, at least.

yea i had some bosch platinum 2s plugs, they didnt run great. I recently purchased some ngk wires, and a brand called Yec for the distributor cap and rotor. Both made in japan. lookin forward to putting it all on, still waiting for the distributor cap and rotor to be shipped in the mail.

how did you like your ngks when putting it on? instead of the oem ones. And are you running iridiums with those wires?

i put everything on today, the NGK wires, yec distributor cap, and Yec ignition rotor. it feels great. very smooth. i noticed the previous rotor is pretty bad condition. if you guys are interested you can buy from this link:

i didnt need everything so i bought only the distributor cap and rotor, their price for those is cheaper than autopartswarehouse.com, but the ngk wires they sold it separately for 90 so i bought it elsewhere. i bought it from autopartswarehouse.com for 78 with free shipping. pretty worth it.
this might be a stupid question , but what is the PCV valve actually do, and would it make a big difference if i change it?

I just recently bought a new set of wires from Autozone. I think they are the Xact brand. Pretty decent and didnt put a hole in my wallet. I purchased a rotor also and new pcv valve, new power steering hoses, and new top radiator hose and cap, I am thinking about going bak to the stock set up on the air filter though as I am not looking for more power at this point. The only other thing I may have to do is replace the fuel filter.

I have also changed my rotor cap plugs and wires along with maf alternator Ps hoses etc... anyway i went with the Bosch Platinum Plus for my plugs because they were out of ngk at the time but anyway i havnt rly ever had a problem with them although coming out of my tailpipe sounds like its kind of fumbling but it fires on all 6 everytime i start it up so they have to be doing something right but ill probibly be going to ngk for my spring tune up...

you should definitely upgrade to ngk, they work great. i think Bosch plugs work better on euro cars. my friend drives a bimmer, it works for him just fine.
