Champion coppers, my 4.0 rejected the Bosch coppers the previous owner put in the night before I bought it.

I have Accel Tune up kit on my 99 runs great. Really nice wire set. Had Bosch cap rotor and wire set, champion plugs on my 91 not bad either. Just more expensive, paid $68 for all Bosch/Champion stuff from Auto zone. I got the whole accel kit for $55 free shipping from summit.

I'm running Champion RC12PEC5 Platinums in my 2001, and it runs great. The previous owner had some Bosch 6717 in there, which also ran the car fine. I just replaced the plugs to reset my maintenance intervals.

Super turbo-fire quad nuclear-tipped flame blasters with magnetic pulse-alignment technology. They're belt-driven.
I'll now be getting 400 miles per gallon. While parked. On the highway they actually scavenge exhaust fumes from the air and turn them back into gasoline, filling my tank as I drive.


Eh. or plain old boring NGK copper cores.

I tried Champion Copper, Bosch and have settled on NGK V-Power which my setup seems to like best.

I heard the next E4s are goin to be gear driven for reliability!

I run what the sticker on the firewall says. However Chrysler has superceded the Champion coppers with NGK coppers in some situations.

I also did the Accel tuneup kit off Amazon. Did the whole thing in about 20 minutes and it runs noticeably better.
