Default Fiesta RS1800 ignition

Hello!

I have ingition problem with my RS1800. I bought new Motorcraft sparks, new spark cables too. It worked well for few weeks and now only 3 cylinder work. I screwed off the sparks and two of them was broken. So I want to try other type of spark. Has anyone an experience with other types?

Thanks!

What do you mean by two were broken, I.E physically or just not working? If the latter i suggest they were either dodgy plugs or somethings wrong elsewhere, I.E getting to hot etc.

The ceramics was broken, so I think it didn't work well.

I always use NGK, also used motorcraft, but it didn't feel right when fitted
If the ceramics is broken, just be gentle

Plugs don't break physically for no reason, try as said being more gentle, I've not broken a plug in over 30 years, when done correctly and this includes plugs so stuck they took the threads out of heads!!

I don't know why, but I screw it easily and also easy to screw off the sparks.
