Spark plug Bosch or AC DELCO
Problem solved: I got a internally bad ac delco spark plug. Gap and everything was correct no cracks I could see literally just a bad plug.
I have a N55, e93 And went through the same back and forth between NGK and Bosch. My car is 100% stock. Ordered ZR5TPP33 Spark Plug - Bosch and the car runs just fine.
My F15 had the Bosch ZR5TPP33-S from the factory. I replaced with ZR5TPP33 when doing the valve cover about 20K miles ago, and no problems so far.
If you change the plugs; use the recommended plugs. I used Bosch Double Iridiums in my truck and they've worked good for 4 years now.
I just picked up 6 Bosch dual electrode double iridium spark plugs from autozone near me and threw them in. Fires great!
I don't use spark plugs like that unless the vehicle specifically specs for them. We used to put Bosch W7DTC's in these, or at a minimum, just the single electrode version.
buy original. or atleast bosch, they are OEM-quality
these BRISK ones are cat in a bag
If it is the skyactive-x be aware that the owners manual advises spark plug replacement at 40k miles and the Mazda plugs are \u00a340 each. I put aftermarket Bosch plugs in and it ran very lumpy and had to replace with Mazda ones.
I bought eight new AC/Delco from eBay. While gapping the plugs, I noticed that in two of them, the ceramic was not concentric with the body of the plug. It's difficult to measure, but it's easy to see by eye. I'd estimate the error is about 0.02 to 0.03 inches.
I had the same experience and ended up getting a code. Swapped them out back to AC Delco and never had an issue.
