BEST SPARK PLUGS
Hey just checking to see what you guys like in the way of spark plug brands and maybe cap and rotor sets. Maybe even hotter plugs etc. too. I have a 2000 Safari and it has a slight stutter at idle and haven't done them yet. Just got it 3 weeks ago and passed the E test and certify. Now for the nitty gritty tweaking for towing and gas mileage.(YEAH RIGHT! Gas mileage with a van!!)
Re: BEST SPARK PLUGS
I just tuned mine up a month or so ago.
AC Delco Cap & Rotor, Napa Echilin Wires, and Bosch IR Fusion Plugs (4505).
On a 1,000 mile roundtrip to CT, I got an average MPG of 20.7.

Re: BEST SPARK PLUGS
I don't think you can go wrong with the stock components in this case. My van ran great for 120K + miles on the stock plugs, wires, cap & rotor. (The coil wire was actually replaced early on due to a recall.)
