Holy Crow, I think these are the Original Spark Plugs

NGK iridium....never looked back 8)

Had bad luck with Bosch, NGK what I use now no problem.

[festivaWES]

NGK v-powers and iridium 9's!!! The only other spark plug i use is AC Delco that's all my truck gets

[quaddawg]

all the bosch platinum plugs are crap, especially the 2's and 4's. i've see too many fail within 10K or be bad out of the box. plus they don't seem to perform as well as a good copper core plug (champ, AC delco, bosch standard, etc.)

x-infinity..

Gimmick plugs are just that, Gimmicks!!

Just use a good copper core plug.

Festy-boy is right on the money

^^^I could not agree more with Festy-boy and Gauddawg.

I'm a Champion man first...autolite second....I prefer the plating and washer....change them at the right frequency and you'll spent less money in the long term and always have good performance.

Think about this...if the platinum was incorporated in any significant/functional amount....the would be out of $$$ reach. Platinum cost more than gold.
If I have to change pain in the butt plugs where the time between changes is less frequent....I'll use factory OEM plugs from the dealership.

Your right the platinum is such a thin layer that if you use a regular gaping tool you will probably scratch it of anyway.

I've lost most respect for the bosch single, +2, +4 plugs that are sold in auto parts stores. I've seen too many fail. I use and push NGK v-power or NGK coppers. If those aren't available I go with autolite.

[geezerstiva]

i just get the cheapest ones possible... course, my other car fouled them so fast, it probably wouldnt make any difference... i would have to take em out and clean em every month or so :shock:
can you say OIL BURNER!

[scitzz]

Hehe, I had a metro that used to foul the #3 plug about once a week of delivery, do you know how bad a 3 cylinder runs on 2? Answer, it doesn't really !

[IL4Festiva]

wow, those plugs are worn, look alot like mine. i didnt check if mine were the OEM before i replaced them, but they looked so old that they had to be atleast 10 years or more

[geezerstiva]

my dad was going to buy a metro, said it ran really rough, the guy he was buying from said it was always like that, that the 3 cyls always ran like that. well he stopped it from missing and then sold it. :lol:
