hey guys i bought a 2000 ex a while back with a swap all ready done, its a b16, i was doing rutine maintence and wanted to change plugs. i went to autozone and got the plugs for a 2000 civic SI with the b16A2, (my engine says b16A on it ) installed the plugs for a VTECH DOHC B16A2, and the car spits and spudders and wont excellerate.. thought it was weired, took the old plugs that i had pulled out in to napa, and they did a search on them and told me they go in a 2001 integra type-r and not a b16. i asked for a set of those plugs for a 2001 integra type-r and installed them and the car runs fine? why would the car spit and spudder on a plug for a 2000 si with a b16? from why i know about my car its a stock b16A2. Thanks for the help.

 

how sure are you that it is a stock b16? are b16 and b18 plugs different? sounds like it. possibly a b18 head on a b16 block???

There's your problem right there. Spark plugs for a phone won't work in a car, you silly ****.

 

all i know is the bottom end is stamped b16A all i see on the haed is PR3-4? how can i tell if i have a b18 head.. what car is a b18 off of, integra?

the old plug i took out was a NGK BKR7ES-11

 

autozone doesn't carry NGK's, i asked them if they did but the guy at the clerk said he didn't, i have to go to some other place to get them.

 

i was a advance auto parts. they have NGK

 

just weired that my car would not run on a plug for a b16, but runs fine on a plug for a integra type-r

 

did you gap them right or did they come pre gapped, my friend thought his came pre gapped and it did the same thing

 

i was told by the 17 year old chick that they are pre-gapped.. so i did not check. they might have not been unsure.

Looks like they initally sold you the wrong ones... Their application database might be at fault, but try to make the chick feel guilty and get at least a sympathy feel or something... after she turns 18...
