vs
Spark plug Autolite or Denso
I've used Autolite plugs in the 2.0's I've owned for over 20 years now because I think they work the best of the ones I've tried with this engine.
Pros: work the best, long-term use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Hondas are notoriously picky about the plugs being Denso.
Pros: plugs being Denso
Cons: picky about plugs
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I’ve used denso IK20TT in whiteblocks and they work very well, may need to re gap if you have some boost raising shenanigans going on
Pros: work very well
Cons: may need re-gapping
Part number: IK20TT
I've never had any issues with Denso plugs, so I recommend those :)
Pros: no issues with Denso
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I would also like to leave a comment here about having success with an autolite AR52 plug. Same exact thread size and identical reach as the OEM torch plug.
Pros: success with autolite plug
Part number: AR52
Autolite or Brisk plugs with stock gap.
I have a 05 with Edelbrock SC, 11 pounds of boost, and E85.
Pros: stock gap
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I replaced the spark plug with an Auto Lite spark plug. Engine light went away but still runs rough and misfire on acceleration.
Pros: Engine light went away
Cons: runs rough, misfire
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
