I ended up finding a post where somebody was having a similar problem that I was and one of the top comments on that post a guy had said word for word "I hope you don't have Bosch Platinum plugs in there." I ordered NGK ZFR5N copper plugs. I just received them this morning and got work. Gapped them to 0.035. Put them in. Done. Misfire gone. Runs perfect idles like butter.
Use only Honda specified plugs (usually Denso Iridium) and they last 100,000 miles just fine.
at 100k km, I replaced (all Bosch) Plugs , Coils, starter, battery, voltage regulator (40).
So new Bosch plugs and red-top coils seemed worth the $109. Old spark plugs were pretty crusty, which made me feel better about doing it.
FWIW, if you don't have Bosch, BERU, Bremi, or NGK plugs/coils and have store brand stuff, I stop diagnostic work until you get OE grade stuff put in there. BMW's don't like the Zone/ebay for ignition parts in my experience.
Yeah can go wrong with acdelco. I run Bosch in my 93 4.3
I like ac delco. But I recently used denso tt fine wire plugs I two different ls engines. What a difference in power. And gas mileage.
So far we have; Changed to new spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor and the distributor is not leaking oil, tried two different sets of spark plugs Bosch F6DTC and NGK/RIDIUM BKR6EIX.
Lesson learned: DO NOT EVER EVER EVER USE BOSCH PLATINUM (STANDARD TIP) SPARK PLUGS IN YOUR VR6 ENGINE.... THEY JUST DON'T WORK!
I installed brand new denso ik24 plugs gapped at .026 and I am still getting misfires.
