NGK Pulgs on a 1.2 16v

[Russy B]

just changed plugs a couple of weeks ago and i'm get a couple of niggles. when i stat to move with not a lot of revs its a bit jerky/juddery/hesitant and also it'll on the odd occasion if i'm going 30 and press down on the gas, it'll lose power for a split second, then kick back in, any ideas as i read somewhere or was told something that the 1.2 16v engine doesn't like NGK plugs for some reason, cheers for any help

the standard plugs are NGK are they not?

could be a coil pack, lambda sensor, throttle body possibly

the ones i fetched out were champion ones. isn't the lambda sensor on the downpipe though

sounds the same as mine was...it turned out to be the o2 sensor before the cat..I have changed it and its fine now.

Its best to replace sparks for Renault ones.

NGK over Champion X1000000

They deffo the right plugs for the engine? Do they look the same as the champion ones?

near as dammit yeah

the champion ones would have been the original ones, i'll look into the o2 sensor.

just a bit more info: seems to be worse when cold rather than warm

just to clear something up oxygen sensor and lambda sensor are the same thing yeah
