Hello my 94 GT celica has been sitting for about 6 months stored and today I started it up changed oil and it ran fine. Later today I went to start it and it fired up and then died after about a minute. To my surprise the spark plugs are looking shot and they only have maybe 2,000 miles on them. I have champion spark plugs and they look as if the center has worn away to the point that the gap is all off and I need new plugs so my question is
-What spark plugs last the longest and give good mileage? What should I buy... -Also I run a straight through exhaust with a header and a magnaflow muffler ,plus a cold air intake. Is it possible I was running too lean or hot those 2,000 miles and wore away the center electrode. 3 of the plugs are redish brown and 1 is grayish white on the insulated porcelain...... Thanks, Brandon |

the number for the Bosch Iridium Fusion / Spark Plug is 4503. the link is to autozone. they are 10 bucks a peice for those and i think that they are only 10 dollars for two of the platinums+2 (difference is irridiums) at walmart. that number is 4303. and the +4s are 4417. all say no gap
