Hi Guys
About 3000 miles ago I did a tune up on my 2000 GT. The car is all stock as far as I know.
After driving it for a while I realized that at 4000 - 5000 rpm I sometime have engine pinging. Since I did not realize that before, I was wondering if that could have something to do with the Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs that I droped in there.
I know for fact that the element platinum does a thermal reaction with exhaust gases (catalytic converter), that's why I thought it might be that the spark plug tips get to hot and pre ignite the mixture.
What's your experience with those plugs? Any advices? Let me know before I buy a set of Motorcraft and find out that I have the same problem...
Thanks in advance
