Bosch Platinum +2 Problem
Hey Guys I am new here. I have a 1998 Ranger with the regular (not flex fuel) 3.0 V-6. I changed my plugs and wires last night. I used the Bosch Platinum +2's. After putting thm in, I took it for a ride. IT ran like crap!!! It sputtered and miss fired bad. It was so bad that I put the old plugs back in. They were Autolite Platinum's. Has anyone else done this and had the same results? Thanks for your input.

Yeah mine could have lasted longer but i have a misterious "miss" and i thought my plugs / wires needed replaced...but it still does it and its annoying as hell.....theres 1 cylinder while idling that will miss i need to get a timing light on them to see what one it is, and see if anything is wrong with the wire

Ok well i had them in mine and ran fine for 5,000 miles and I just swithched em out to autolite platinum's, because my check engine light came on.

Guess what I'm pretty sure Honeywell makes Motorcraft, Auto lite, and champion. For some reason I never liked Champion plugs except in Briggs motors but the there is no difference between motorcraft and auto lite plugs. Just make sure you run platinum. I tried regular auto lites and the truck ran poorly. Moved back to a platinum auto lite and itz tip top.

truck runs perfectly, its only 5 years old for crying out loud, it better freaking run good
