vs
Spark plug OEM FORD or Autolite
Good old standard Autolite Coppers work just as well as anything on the market, as long as you replace them every few thousand miles. At $.99 a piece, you can't beat 'em.
Pros: good performance, excellent value
Cons: short lifespan
the plugs are autolite platinums AP3924. the wires are the blue ignitors from techtonics. the rest of the ignition is stock. do i regap the plugs, or should i leave them where they are now. i'm leaning towards leave them since it ran fine before and i don't want to deal with a no start issue when i start it or the first time with the new cam.
Pros: ran fine before
Cons: no start issue
Part number: AP3924
I use Autolite plugs plat 1 cheepos that get me 400 miles per tank and seem to handle continuous high rpm output ( drove across the US in four days)
Pros: good fuel economy, handles high RPM
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Now I'm running autolites one range colder than stock at .028 and they run great...
Pros: run great
I bought some Autolite Platinums and now I find out they are crap Anyway, I needed something fast. Replaced them earlier this afternoon after work and so far so good. Acceleration is ALOT smoother.
Pros: acceleration is smoother
Cons: they are crap
I own one of these, and I couldn't have a lower opinion of Fords engineering (the 2v spits out spark plugs? lets "fix" it on the 3v and make it so they will never come out).
Cons: poor engineering, spark plugs get stuck
Vehicle:
Ford
I’d never put autolites in a Jeep, send em back and get champions or NGK depending on year and model.
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
I quit using autolite plugs somewhere between 1995 and 2000, got tired of all the comebacks.
Cons: tired of comebacks
I work on euro cars. If I'm diagnosing an issue that even has me think misfire and it has autolites, I'm done until they're in the trash can and OE is installed.
Cons: trash can
My experience with auto lite has been complete trash, and their review ratings are always great. Anybody else have problems with auto lite plugs?
Cons: complete trash
