Note that decent spark plugs are hella expensive, but worth it due to lasting a lot longer than cheap $4 Autolite's.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: hella expensive
For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents on plugs and wires. I've read several threads here that indicated something along the lines of, \"YOU'D BETTER D@MN WELL USE NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING BUT OEM BRAND PLUGS AND WIRES!!! THE CAR IS TUNED AT THE FACTORY USING THESE. IF YOU USE ANYTHING ELSE, YOUR CAR WILL RUN LIKE SH@T AND YOUR FUEL ECONOMY WILL BE TERRIBLE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!\" Fast forward to a few months ago when I had a breakdown an hour from home and was trying to figure out the problem. Because I was on the side of the road, I had to Uber it to the nearest parts store and take what they had on offer. If I remember right, the plugs were Autolite and the lightning hoses were Carquest (don't quote me here). No Bosch, no Bremi, etc. I was nervous about it, but hey, the car's 20 years old, so I wasn't worried about squeezing out the MAX performance. Guess what? It runs exactly the same as before and gets the same gas mileage.
Pros: runs exactly the same
Autolite is the brand I got through rock auto.
Pros: cheap price
These are Autolite plugs, not Motorcraft. Which means the plugs in this vehicle have been changed before, that probably has a little to do with why it was easier than usual to get these out. By the looks of the plugs and the lack of carbon buildup and corrosion (the two factors that cause these plugs to size the most) I'd say they weren't in there for a very long time either. Going by my experience with Autolite plugs in Fords (very little experience as I work on Euros mostly) if they don't start misfiring right away it's usually within a couple of months.
Pros: lack of carbon buildup
Cons: misfiring within months
If you used auto lite spark plugs that is almost certain the problem.
Cons: almost certain problem
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
autolites are some of the worst spark plugs, grab some NGK iridium’s and it should be fine
Cons: worst spark plugs
I have a 2019 GTI with 65k km. I decided to do plugs and when I saw how expensive OEM were, I said screw that, i'm going to try the iridium auto value basic ones. I thought the difference in quality would be negligible. I ran the Autolite XP5325 plugs without gapping. All seemed fine but then when pulling on to highway under load at 3k + RPM, misfiring like crazy.
Cons: misfiring under load
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 65000 km
Part number: XP5325
it was the Autolite spark plugs. Had car towed to my mechanic. They replaced with spec NGK and the car is running fine.
Pros: car is running fine
Cons: car misfires
Vehicle:
Mazda
I bought Autolite spark plugs but after researching I should of bought NGK. Right after replacing them when I accelerate my car jerks or misfires when driving. When at an idle I felt my car jerking.
Cons: car jerks or misfires
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
