All run superbly and I change spark plugs every 30,000 miles. Be sure to gap per the Owner's Manual specification.
Inpsect the condition of the distributor cap and rotor when you change spark plugs. Clean terminals, or replace as required ... likely every 60,000 miles. Recommend carefully inspecting the ignition wires since they can cause running issues also.

If your 91 CE uses the 103, then you should not use the F8DC4's because the seating is different. You are building up carbon on exposed threads.
Bosch H9DC0 is the correct plug and can still be obtained at the dealership for a decent price. I paid $4.20/each last week for a set I needed.
