Well my birthday is next week and I needed to get my sticker. So I go to the kiosk and punch in my info and it tells me I need an E-Test. Damn I forgot about the letter I got a couple months ago. Oh well, what can you do. So just to make myself feel better I decided to get a set of plugs and install them tonight. What a difference!!!
My car has a lot more pickup and is more responsive. I am guessing that the Motorcraft plugs that I took out were the originals. It has about 103,000kms on it now and I have put on about half of them myself. I am not sure what to expect. I think it should do fine. But anyways wish me luck.
See below for my printout.

I always find that when I do something to the car, like changiing the oil and even putting on mew wipers, for some reason, the car seems to run better. :lol: Having said that, new plugs will help, as well as an oil change, clean your air filter and run the car hot for a half an hour or so. Worked all the time for the Escort I had, 450,000 kms when it finished

Yeah, I cleaned the K&N about a month ago, so thats good. In my research for a place to do the E-test I found out the Ford dealer that does my waranty work had their license revolked. So because I was curious I called them to book an apointment and guess what, they said that they stopped doing the tests because there was no money in it for them.
But the MTO web site said that the reason for the loss of their licence revolk was due to invalid test results. Hmmmmm I wonder what they were doing? Fixing test results for their used cars maybe?

Yeah, thats what I thought. I think they forgot to start the car to do the test.
