SPARKPLUGS

Post by STOFFEL »

Hello!

Which Sparkplugs must I put in my 1998 Patrol 4,5? (Y61 TB45.)

NGK BPR 6 ES-11?

Kind Regards,

Stoffel.

According to the manual, the standard plug is the BPR5E-11, but there is also a hotter (BPR4E-11) and a colder (BPR6E-11) rated plug that can be used. I would not use a hotter plug, given the TB45 motor's propensity to pinging. The S in the BPR6ES-11 designation simply refers to the electrode type (S = standard copper center core).

Thanks!

My Patrol idles a bit "rough", even after I fitted new plugs. Not a lot, the revcounter does not even show it, but I can feel it.

Why, do you think?

Kind Regards,

Stoffel.
