What to do with stuck spark plugs?
Hey peps, new to your site. Just brought a 92 Integra GS last night. Very nice car inside and out. So i'm off today and doing the usually maintance stuff for used cars changing all the fluids, plugs, wires, distr etc. Got to the plugs and changed 2 with no problem. Left 2 plugs wont even budge?? I'm letting the motor cool right now but if that doesnt work any suggestions on what to do? Motor has 180K on it and judging from the other plugs they probably haven't been change since never!

Ok got those plugs out! Gotta another dumb question. Went to Autozone today and they told me this motor ONLY takes platinum plugs. Is this true? Did a search on here and couldn't find the answer i was lookin for.

Personally I like the NGK factory plugs.... I know they begin with BCPR but I can't remember the digit code that follows it. Either way stick with NGK

It's tough, I stuck the plug wire back down and just wiggled it up sideways kinda so it would stay on, I had to do that with like 2-3 of them.
