ISSUE:
Three (3) different unique styles of platinum enhanced spark plugs are produced for vehicles with Electronic Ignition (EI). Each style is distinguished by their part number suffix letters. - The suffix letter "P" indicates the center electrode is enhanced with platinum.
- The suffix letter "PG" indicates the ground (side) electrode is enhanced with platinum.
- The suffix letter "PP" indicates double platinum enhancement on both the ground (side) and center electrode.
ACTION:
If a spark plug is removed for examination, it must be reinstalled in the same cylinder. If a spark plug needs to be replaced, use only spark plugs with the service part number suffix letter "PP" as shown on the engine decal.
