No. I'm out in AZ going to see my dad and one of the plugs started fouling so I found a little parts store in some dusty town.That's because they don't know - they're just selling you what they have.
The correct plugs are like $6/ea at the dealership. Do you have one near you?
I drove from CA, so I'm not close to any of the major cities just yet. I think I have a stuck intake valve on #3. A new plug usually lasts a while.If that dusty town is anywhere near Phoenix or Tucson, you have plenty of options for dealerships. Good luck with the trip, and fouling a plug could be caused by any number of things not just a bad spark plug.

Thank you. I just need a quick fix. That’s just what I needed to know until I get to a dealer.If you're not near a dealership, find a big box store that sells Denso plugs (Advance Auto Parts and Autozone both carry Denso). Denso 3119 - gap to .032" for the cheapest solution.
Problem. When I went to remove the spark plug wire, the rubber fitting that seats around the plug came off and is stuck in there.Thank you. I just need a quick fix. That’s just what I needed to know until I get to a dealer.
Most of us have used locking forceps and picks to stab it and pull it out.Problem. When I went to remove the spark plug wire, the rubber fitting that seats around the plug came off and is stuck in there.

Thank god it’s not 6. It’s got to be 110 out here.Most of us have used locking forceps and picks to stab it and pull it out.
It took me an hour laying on top of the engine to get the one out if #6.
Unfortunately I didn’t have any. This was a road side plug change and it was hot. On a good note, those plugs, except 3, were clean as can be. Good to know the engine is running well.Make sure you use some dielectric grease on the new boots being installed so the doesn't happen again.
