I decided to change my plugs last night. I bought the NGK Platinum plugs and I haven't had an issue with the ignition.

For future reference, taken straight from 2003 ES manual (USA made in Japan):

Manual recommends one of the 3:
NGK - BKR5E-11
DENSO - K16PR-U11
CHAMPION - RC10YC4

all gapped at 0.039 - 0.043 in (1.0 to 1.1mm)

Firing order 1-3-4-2
