Spark plug Bosch or Autolite
I've changed my spark plugs three times, always with the Bosch Iridium, never had any problems. Pre-gapped, takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish. Lasts me about 90,000 miles.
Since spark plugs don’t cost that much I played around with a few. My 05 TJ like the Autolite APP985 the best. Hated the NGK ZF5RN the most.
Cylinder Misfires started on #2, progressed to all, replaced all spark plugs and all spark plug wires. Cylinder misfires now gone. Spark plugs and spark plug wires all in bad condition
About 6 weeks ago I finally changed the spark plugs. So I put somewhere near 180,000 miles on a set of Autolite spark plugs. Two of the spark plugs the center electrode was completely gone. I don't know how the fuck the engine ran and I certainly don't know how it did not throw a code , it still ran very smoothly even at idle.
I went with OE ignition coils and bosch spark plugs and the misfire went away for a couple days but came back on my drive to school.
I have used NKG FOR THE PAST 6 years on the car , no issues at all. Recently replaced them with Bosch OEM spark plugs , it’s same shit , no difference.
Local mechanic used an Autolite plug, not Honda-recommended NGK. Misfires stopped for a month, then happened twice more. I have since discovered this brand does not run well in a Honda engine.
I changed my plugs to autolite because I had never heard anything bad about them. I replaced them after 3 weeks due to misfires, put another set of autolites in and it ran fine for 2 weeks. Started misfiring again and swapped in a set of NGK's, no problems since.
I would never install Autolite on any car, definitely not the WRX.
Out of all my years replacing spark plugs. The only times I got bad spark plugs that misfired right away is the one time I ordered a fake set thru ebay(my fault for not doing my due diligence) and a set of brand new auto lites from autozone.
