Initially, I was going to say leave everything the way it is so you can get a theoretical 'baseline' but if you think your plugs are bad then maybe you can change them to notice a difference. If thsi works out for you, you can avoid the cost of a leakdown test. I think for my Sentra which is a 4-cyl, I think it was $150.

Thanks, am going with some NGK IX's before I turn it in. Did this test take a long time to do? thanks again!

I still retain my Sentra, I am now the proud owner of two Nissans! Typically, the Sentra gets the daily driving duties and relaxes on the weekends which is where the Z comes in.

Nice! My dd is a civic, but I drove an altima the other day and am considering it!
