Bosch Platnum +4's

Early this summer I changed my plugs over to +4's and did my wires at the same time. Now I know that a lot of people don't like these bosch plugs and say to run NGK's. Lately I have noticed that some times my car will idle kinda rough and the RPMs will fluctuate a little below normal, anybody think it's the plugs causing it?

Re: Bosch Platnum +4's

Could be. Those plugs don't have the best spark. You want it centered, and they spread it out.
I would get Delco plugs if you can. Probably the best right now for the car. Gonna be a little costly though.

Possibly, i know i changed mine out for some delco and it's run like as raped ape (uhoh, stole someone's quote). I think Morley or Wirhgtz28 said delco is the way to go, boschs were fouled out at only 500 miles.

Yeah, Bosch was good when they first started pumping out the platinum plugs, but as of late, their quality assurance program has gone to the dogs.

Plus, mutliple tip plugs are gimmick anyways, like Mr. Louis said, sure, you're spreading the spark around, but unless you've vamped the ignition set up a bit, it's a cooler spark than a standard platinum and killing your coil(s).

Re: Bosch Platnum +4's

One other thouht: I wonder if it also could have something to do with gasoline compositions changing over the years too?

Re: Bosch Platnum +4's

Well, I may have to think about changing them out then, maybe next summer...

I agree also, why? Delco plugs aren't that expensive, are they? And changing on your car is probably easy too, right?

Re: Bosch Platnum +4's

Well, I don't really see the point in changing them right after I changed them it doesn't run that badly just everyonce in a while, plus doesn't really make sense to me to change them right before I park it for the winter... No they aren't too bad to change but I just don't see the point right now. So back up off my case

Nah, they're not expensive, not verusus how much gas would be wasted running old ones.

Oh, a 4th gen bay is pretty tight Link, especially if it's an 8, half the motor is under the damn dash.

Alright chill out. You didn't mention storing it for the winter I would believe both Louis and I thought from your first post that it WAS running bad. That's why we asked WHY.
