Ok i know some1 posted sumthing about this earlier, but here goes,
the trailing are on top and leading on bottom (this is according to my
user manual) now my question is, i have the strange looking plugs
(the NGK's with the crosshair type design) on top, and normal type
plugs on bottom that isn't right is it? and is it ok to use normal plugs
for both? my car runs but in low rpm's it's sluggish....just wondered if
when they were changed (they were changed right be4 i got the car)
that the mechanic could of got confused and put them in backwards,
which i would have done also if i hadn't had seen that in the manual..

and if i have the normal type on my leading? could this cause a little
hesitation in acceleration? (i was a poet and didn't...realize it.) i assume
the leading plugs ignite the gas, and the trailing burn off the excess and
spent gas, so the better plugs are burning off excess gas instead of
igniting it.....this could be a problem eh?

BUR9EQ and BUR7EQ are the plugs to be using, you cant **** it up
because the plugs are marked as to which is the trailing and leading,
1 is towards the front of the car and 2 is the rear of the car. Put a little dab of anti-seize on the threads of the plug before installing. Install them as they come in the box, there is no gapping.
