I always had issues when I used any plugs other than Bosch Iridium or Platinum. You can even try Bosch copper plugs if you find the right heat and size. They're usually cheaper and better, but don't last very long... like 10k miles.
So the new set of plugs arrived, so switched out them along with new wires, since two broke during work (Magneti Marelli) and since I already tested and bought a new coil pack basically the whole ignition system's now revamped.
So far after more than two hours of driving, no problems, but Im really careful since I dont wan to find out Im wrong, but it feels ok.
The old plugs where NGK, and after pulling them, their resistance measured on average about 4 kohms.
I kept the previous set, which where Beru's and they measured ~1.4 kohms.
The new set is Bosch, and Im going to stay away from NGKs since I drive a little bit sporty, lasted less than two years, and (I think) 20'000 km.
Bosh Double Iridium is the best value. AC Delco as well as the NGK only have an iridium electrode. The Bosh plugs have iridium laser welded to the ground electrode as well. The advantage is that it stays cleaner when it gets up to temperature and will have virtually no wear. Don't get Autolite. Their plugs are almost always out of spec. Out of the box you can ohm them out and 1 of the 4 is guaranteed to be out of spec.
That is what I am running in this 1996 Corolla and my gas Mileage is better than ever! Made a huge difference in power .
For the last twenty or so years I have only used Bosch plugs. I have had great service in my VWs, Toyotas and Ford.
i might switch out the plugs again because my buddy got me some freebie bosch plat 4 and i wanna put the bosch single silvers in.
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.
I’ve heard bad things from mechanics about Bosch, specifically Bosch platinum.
the plugs are brand new Bosch Double Platinum.... so then I went out, put them back in and was still a biotch to start....
I did not have good experiences with Bosch on another vehicle.
