Saturn SL2 Spark Problem

I just want to do a mini tune-up with spark plugs and wires. What is a good brand for my car? I heard just using the NGK plugs are the best for this car but I'm not sure if that's true so I want to double check before I buy some.

I always recommend staying with OEM products. Your vehicle should have come with AC Delco plugs and wires.

Ok thank you for the quick response. Does it matter the specific type of plug? Like copper, iridium, platinum, double platinum? I know some cars will actually run funny if you use a certain one of these including me hearing that double platinum will make my car run funny but again, I dont know if thats true or not.

They should know at the parts store what the vehicle came with when it was new. Stay with the same.
