What a difference plugs make
I started noticing a little rough idle, and the iridiums only have 30K on them, but I started checking out some of the forum topics on plugs.
I decided on the Delco Platinum 41-895, but choked when the local auto parts store wanted $13 - each.
I went on the famous internet shopping/auction site, and got new ones for $4 each.
Installed them, and I absolutely cannot feel the engine at idle, and the response is terrific. It feels like an extra 10 HP, SOTP......
Check them out, well worth it

If you have rough idle, make sure the plugs are torqued correctly. Sometimes they might work themselves loose. I felt a big difference after just checking to make sure they are all tight...especially the one on the driver side firewall.

I agree, but mine were all tight - I had checked them before I invested in the new plugs and bruised knuckles......
