I changed my spark plugs the other day. I put some autolite 104's in my 98 cavalier 2.2 and now it seems to have a slight miss. The spark plug wires are brand new too.. Has anyone ever had any problems with autolite plugs.. Should I use a different brand? I am not looking for performance, just want to get rid of the miss and get the best MPG i can get
Autolites are great.............FOR FORDS !! Auotlites make Motorcraft plugs for Fords. They make them to fit other cars too but they are mostly a Ford plug just like AC Delco
makes plugs that fit in Ford but they are mostly a GM plug.
I'd stick to AC platinums. Just my opinion.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
It's possible you got a bad batch.
I use AC Delcos in GM vehicles. I've used Autolites in Chrysler Products and never had problems. Double check all your wires are connected well, too.

Hey,
Who makes AC Platinums? I have never had a problem with Bosch Platinums, and for the $15 a piece for the AC platinums, I think I will stay with Bosch.
Thanks,

from what I've heard Bosch makes AC Delco plugs
AC Delco are the recomended plugs for all GM cars and trucks i run platinums in my Z bosch platinums are not good for GM $15 for ac platinums u r getting robbed 6 each auto zone
AC Delco Makes AC Delco plugs. AC Delco is the OEM supplier for just about everything GM. From Plugs, wires, Any thing electrical, All sensors, Etc.
Hey,
The only plugs not made by AC delco are the iridiums. From what I have been told they are made by NGK!!
Take care,

i put bosch plat+4's in my 03 fire and its never ran better. i also went from maybe 200 miles a tank to around 350 a tank. i have a very heavy right foot. also the plugs were the only thing i changed. still has the stock boots and i changed the fuel filter about 20,000 miles ago. it has a k&n filter in the stock box, but that has been in the car for a year now. i go to the same gas station everytime.
ive run the autolites in my 2.4 for an n/a and nitrous tune and never had a problem with them, actually i liked them quite a bit

Hey,
Thanks for the input here. I am gonna try Bosch in my Sunfire. I have run them in the past on other vehicles with success. Can''t find the AC Platinums for less than $14 a piece up here, and will not run iridiums since I do not like NGK!!
Thanks,

ive had a set of ngk's break, and almost go into my motor, and i had an ac delco plug break and take out a valve, the head and my exhaust. cost me a motor. although i mrunning the reccomended gm supercharger plugs now for my turbo 2.4 and they seem to be fine. i change them when i change the oil, wlel i used to because the car ran so rich it fouled them up but ill see how it reacts to them this year
