Dear forumers
I've a few questions regarding spark plugs. Hope the experts here can assist me as i'm learning more on my car. icon_question.gif

1. I look through my car's manual. Spark plug is stated: (NGK) FR7DTC. What does this mean?
2. The best spark plug is the iridium right? Cos I did some search as below:

http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/technic...spark_plugs.htm
3. I thought each car only uses 1 spark plug? How to know whether how many plugs my car has?
4. Does changing the spark plug to iridium improves FC/acceleration as claimed? I look through some old posts regarding people MODDING their rides, most of them put spark plug iridium.
5. What is the standard price of one (1) iridium spark plug? Which shop in KL/PJ can install ORIGINAL ones?

..might add questions if i think of any.

Thanks in advance! thumbup.gif

1. R stands for resistor type... 7 is the heat range... other alphabet not specified in the NGK sparkplug chart... lolz...
2. rephrase... one of the best....
3. common engine has 1 sparkplug on each bank of cylinder... only twinspark and idsi engine has 2 sparkplug on each cylinder.... what car u driving??...
4. yes... a new sparkplug is always good for the engine regardless what type/make it is.... let us know what car u driving, we let u know wat engine u are using and how many sparkplugs u need...
5. if not mistaken rm150 onwards for 4pcs... latest updated price i not sure...

so, what car are u driving??..

1. Not sure
2. I would prefer saying the iridium is a longer lasting one
3. Normally 1 spark plug for each cylinder.. yours has 4 (ACTECO SQR484F as quoted in paultan.org)
4. Improvement (if any) is too little to notice. however it does last long
5. Around rm170 for 4 pieces if you buy direct from spare part shop (denso)

thanks so much for the clarification.

If engine is stated '4G_ _ _' meaning it has 4 cylinders running on gasoline right? 4 cylinders meaning 4 spark plugs.

The 4G series of engines are only Mitsubishi engines, other manufacturers engines have their own codes. You're right about 4 means 4 cylinder, though G thoes not mean "gasoline". biggrin.gif

Your Tiggo is the older model? If yes, then it is the 4G Mitsu engine.....

The iridium are around RM150 and above. I doubt the improvement is worth the amount paid for.
You can try Platinum which cost much less tongue.gif

i read somewhere that the FR7DTC stopped production, replaced by some other model (didn't note down).
so meaning if Denso or NGK i should look for the above model as stated right?
thx bro

Edited:
Just found out that BCPR/BKR are the same but different in terms of ISO & JIS standards.
