Icon3 Spark plugs

So I'm thinking that my spark plugs are taking a crap on me. Cuz my car started hesitating and my idle keeps fluctuating. This same thing happened when my pulstar plugs blew up on me. I don't want the pulstar plugs because they only lasted me 10k miles. So I want just some standard plugs and I looked at the autozone site and they don't have any ngk or denso plugs listed for our cars but they have ngk iridium plugs listed for the rsx s with the z motor and I was wondering if I could use those and be safe? Cuz I was thinking since its the same motor I could use them right? I know it seems like an easy question but I'm a little paranoid using a part designed for another car

you can use those plugs. the NGK website suggests the same part number for both cars for iridiums.

They would work fine and diry already said. Take pics of the plugs after you pull them out of the motor so we can see if they are fried. Good luck and let me know what happens with the car.

Are you serious? The dealership charges double the price per plug compared to the chain stores. Should have just ordered them, and waited a day.

Hey ivtec just curious if you know what model plug you got as far as heat range and did you have to gap them?

I have NGK BKR8EIX.

I'm not sure if that's an iridium or platinum plug my tuner installed them.

Oh an how many miles did you put on your last set of plugs?
