Replace the plugs with NGK or Denso.
Best Spark plug for Nissan Altima
Installed new plugs. Probably took 30 minutes - very simple - thanks Nissan! The original plugs which I am embarrassed to say went 123K miles came out very easy so I saw no need.
So I grab a new ignition coil, and a full set (4) of spark plugs. The Pre-gapped BOSCH Iridium plugs were the same price as OEM platinum, so I figured that's fine for me.
After pulling the plugs, Cylinder 1 plug was definitely eroded. The other 3 plugs looked fine, but I might as well replace the lot. The new Ignition Coil went into Cylinder 1 as well, and I started it up.
Check engine light went off, starts up fine, drives fine, idles fine.
Changed valve cover/gasket and installed new Bosch plugs and NGK boots.
Car had slightly higher rpms at cold startup but didn\u2019t think anything was wrong. After a few days engine started to misfire. I did some research and it sounded like I should use OEM plugs. I purchased Nissan plugs from the dealer and replaced the Bosch plugs. Misfire went away, but higher rpms at cold start persisted.
I bought Autolite spark plugs but after researching I should of bought NGK. Right after replacing them when I accelerate my car jerks or misfires when driving. When at an idle I felt my car jerking.
Damn $40/plug, I have a nissan altima 2012 and got the most expensive one at $30CAD/plug NGK iridium laser and it was out of necessity as cheaper ones was out of stock during lockdown.
