CEL on after Bosch Plat 4 plugs

[lowfrostcb7]

Ok I installed the Bosch plat 4 plugs and every so often I get a CEL. Anyone else have this problem? Im thinking of yanking em and going back to the good old NGK's.


Let me know

Thanks

i have bosch and never had any problems with them. make sure they r installed correctly, if u still getting a cel then use denzo iridiums

Well im wondering if they may be the wrong ones, the guy at the store kept asking me if I had the A1 or the A4 I told him the A1. So thats what he got for me.

first of all, you should have just stuck with NGK or Denso OEM plugs. no need to waste $$$ on those Bosch plugs. second, did you even check to see what CEL you are getting ??

before you jump into any other conclusions.. here's how you check your CEL

Probably just clogged EGR ports. However I would still pull out those damn Bosch plugs and throw them in the trash. Hondas like NGK and Denso the best. Bosch plugs cause missfires and all kinds of shit. Matter of fact, I've seen OBD 2 cars throw missfire codes with bosch plugs.....replace them with some NGK's and it runs great.

I think the platinum 4's have been great for me! No missfires or anything. I do want to get some NGK's and see how they perform. Which one's in NGK's performs the best?.....a) v-power b) g-power platinum c) laser platinum or d) iridium IX?

some say bosch sucks!!!! lol well i have had noooooooo problems with bosch platinum 4's or denzo irdiums. none of the guys i know that use bosch have any problems. if your engine doesn't like bosch get denzo. ngk well i haven't had any problems with ngk but the performance is def lacking compared to other brands but again that is for my car. denzo or bosch. how r u guys getting that bosch sucks???? have any of u actually used bosch or is it all here say? sry not trying to be a prick but i hate when people give advice on parts they have never used.

lol....uhhh....didn't you read my other post....I just said that I've seen Bosch plugs cause drivablity problems several times. I didn't say Bosch makes bad parts...I just said they don't seem to work well in Hondas....and yes, this is based on personal experience.

I also believe that anybody that buys those damn "platinum 4" plugs is completely ignorant. Think about it, it doesn't matter how many electrode grounds there are on a plug....THERE IS STILL ONLY ONE SPARK! It doesn't matter if there is 1 ground or 4, only one spark is occuring. They make it seem as if its this huge firestorm is happening when in fact its just a regular old spark.

i know that i just see better performance with the bosch, little better performance with denzo over bosch but my bosch lasts longer. for me personally ngk has been a nightmare. and yes different engines "prefer" different manufacturers lol how weird is that. well as long as the part works well for your car then go for it.

Bosch = Mercedes & BMW

NGK, Denso = Honda & Toyota
