NGK 5685 spark plug for the 2000-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage 4-cylinder 1.5L and other vehicles ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. It belongs to the NGK Standard line, the yellow-box NGK spark plugs engineered for OE applications.
A rough idle, misfires or hard starting can mean a plug is worn, though a weak ignition coil or a vacuum leak can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace plugs.
The 2000-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage 4-cylinder 1.5L takes four of these plugs; the 1992-1993 Volkswagen Transporter 5-cylinder 2.5L and the 1988-1992 Audi 80 Quattro 5-cylinder 2.3L take five each, and the plug fits many more vehicles. If your car is not named here, look up your own year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab. It is best for vehicles with OE nickel alloy plugs and is not recommended on vehicles with factory precious metal plugs.
