  • 5000 ohm resistor for ignition noise suppression
  • Copper center electrode core for stable heat transfer
  • Nickel center and ground electrode tip materials
  • Standard ground configuration with a flat seat
  • 14.00 mm thread diameter, 19.00 mm reach, and 20.6 mm hex size
  • Pre-gapped to 0.8 mm

Product Details

Built under Denso’s U-Groove Conventional line, this spark plug focuses on dependable secondary ignition performance with a design that helps the spark kernel form more easily at the plug gap. The copper core and nickel electrode materials support consistent operation in classic Porsche 911 engines, while the resistor design helps reduce electrical interference in the ignition system. This part number is 4033, and it cross-references DENSO Auto Parts W24ESR-U for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Restoring weak or inconsistent spark in Porsche 911 ignition systems
  • Addressing rough idle caused by worn spark plugs
  • Helping correct hard starting in older Porsche 911 engines
  • Reducing misfire symptoms tied to aged secondary ignition components
  • Replacing plugs with excessive electrode wear or gap growth

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1965-1967 Porsche 911, N/A; 1969-1971 Porsche 911, N/A; 1974-1977 Porsche 911, N/A; and 1984-1989 Porsche 911, N/A. Verify thread diameter, reach, seat type, and pre-gap before installation. Use the specified torque procedure for the cylinder head and confirm ignition wire condition, coil output, and plug wire routing during service. The part number 4033 should be matched to the vehicle’s required heat range and ignition specification before final assembly.

Quality Assurance
