Yesterday, I installed new spark plugs in my 2004 TJ. Going off [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-the-best-spark-plugs-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj-4-0.4196/) I purchased the Autolite XP985. Originally, I gapped the plugs to .04 based on [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spark-plug-gap-for-4-0.17415/). The jeep ran terribly and actually threw a check engine light.
I went back today and changed all the gaps to .035 based on the note under the hood, but I still think the idle is a bit rougher then what it was before the change.
Cons: rough idle, check engine light
Vehicle:
Jeep
Part number: XP985
I bought some Autolite double platinum spark plugs because they were on sale at the Napa where I live but everybody I have tried asking to help me do my spark plugs has gawked as soon as I say "Autolite" and tells me that I'll have nothing but issues with those plugs and that "they're only good for Fords" basically.
Cons: potential issues, only good for fords
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
I’d never put autolites in a Jeep, send em back and get champions or NGK depending on year and model.
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
I quit using autolite plugs somewhere between 1995 and 2000, got tired of all the comebacks.
Cons: tired of comebacks
I work on euro cars. If I'm diagnosing an issue that even has me think misfire and it has autolites, I'm done until they're in the trash can and OE is installed.
Cons: trash can
I find that chevies and dodges like autolite or delcos, fords i run motorcraft only, japanese stuff gets ngk's or bosch.
My experience with auto lite has been complete trash, and their review ratings are always great. Anybody else have problems with auto lite plugs?
Cons: complete trash
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
