Spark plug Champion or Autolite

Autolite Spark plug

I've been running autolite in pretty much every domestic that comes through my shop for years since they’re usually the workhorse for Ford and GM tunes. Also, I haven’t seen any dip in the plug quality lately so that's a good sign. The iridiums are still pulling clean gaps right out of the box.

Pros: clean gaps, good quality
Vehicle: Ford

When I started the vehicle up, it woke up really aggressive, there was a strong gas smell and it stuttered badly when driving her, along with the check engine light flashing at me when I did the test drive.\n\nAfter taking out the coil pack, I found that there was a lot of crap inside the springs within the boots...looked like dielectric grease gummed up by the previous owner. After cleaning all those springs and making sure they were straight, I took the new Spark plugs out (Champion Copper) I rechecked the gap and they were all good, after putting everything back together the old girl started up quick as hell, no shaking or anything. I drove it for 15 minutes and I had no issues whatsoever.

Pros: started up quick as hell, no shaking
Cons: strong gas smell, stuttered badly

Autolite Spark plug

Pulled the spark plugs and #3 has burnt away the centre electrode. Plugs aren't all that old. Plug brand is Auto lite. Any ideas on what may be the cause?

Cons: center electrode burnt away
Vehicle: Nissan

Autolite Spark plug

A quick search shows that autolite spark plugs don't seem to perform well in modern vehicles, you might have to go for a higher quality closer to OEM quality plugs.

Pros: higher quality, OEM quality
Cons: don't perform well
