My RX3 runs great with the NGK CR7E spark plug, and it no longer stalls while coasting to a stop.

" Blow out spark plug hole with compressed air"

Spud, just wanted to say that this tip of yours is an absolute "must" and to add , make a really good visual inspection afterwards to make sure its all clear.

A while back when doing my plug, I had a couple bits of gravel jamed low down between the plug and the plug recess. you can guess where they were going to go if i hadn't spotted them prior to removing the plug.
