Bosch Spark plug

I ended up finding a post where somebody was having a similar problem that I was and one of the top comments on that post a guy had said word for word "I hope you don't have Bosch Platinum plugs in there." I ordered NGK ZFR5N copper plugs. I just received them this morning and got work. Gapped them to 0.035. Put them in. Done. Misfire gone. Runs perfect idles like butter.

Pros: misfire gone, runs perfect
Cons: caused misfires
Vehicle: Jeep Cherokee

Bosch Spark plug

Although I prefer Bosch sensors over other brands in certain parts of my Mk 5 2.5, I will not buy Bosch spark plugs. Many professional mechanics over the last 3 decades have told me horror stories about them.

Cons: horror stories, engine problems
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Autolite Spark plug

Yesterday, I installed new spark plugs in my 2004 TJ. Going off [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-the-best-spark-plugs-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj-4-0.4196/) I purchased the Autolite XP985. Originally, I gapped the plugs to .04 based on [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spark-plug-gap-for-4-0.17415/). The jeep ran terribly and actually threw a check engine light.

I went back today and changed all the gaps to .035 based on the note under the hood, but I still think the idle is a bit rougher then what it was before the change.

Cons: rough idle, check engine light
Vehicle: Jeep
Part number: XP985

Warning about Bosch spark plugs!!! The piece of ceramic around the electrode failed. These were in a 2018 sonata turbo for about 10k miles. Thank God it didn't fall in...

Cons: ceramic around electrode failed
Mileage: 10000 km
