Default Cylinder 4 Misfire after throttle Body Gasket replacement

Had left bank running lean error as well as various cylinder misfires errors. Root cause was a bad throttel body Gasket that is summed up quite will in the following video


Now the car is buttoned up keep getting a cylinder #4 misfire. Car has been stuck in the Garage, so no chance to run it hard in case of a fouled plug. Car has 77k Miles (2002) on original plugs. thought that it may be only a fouled plug? Will pull the plug and see how that goes first

What are good replacement plugs, am I cheap for not buying the $10 each expensive ones?



Thanks

Paul

I would only use the Bosch or NGK multi pronged plugs, or NGK iridiums. You'll find the multi prong plugs under $10...

Bosch Platinum +4.

I replaced all eight spark plugs with these. 10,000+ miles on them and no issues. Plus they are with-in your budget.

Good luck.
