I Changed The Spark Plugs On My 95 Maxima Se. I Used Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs (made In Germany). The Ones I Took Out Said Made In Japan, I Dont Know If That Makes A Difference. The Gaps Are The Way The Are Supposed To Be, Because I Measured Them So Thats Not The Problem. My Problem Is That Now My Car Seems Like It Is Misfiring, I Can Feel It When Im Driving And When I Have It In Park. It Was Not Doing This Before I Changfed The Spark Plugs, It Was Running Fine. It Seemed To Get Worse As The Day Went On, So Now I Jus Parked It, I Dont Want To Drive It Like That. Has This Happen To Anybody Before, Or Does Anybody Know What The Problem Could Be?
Thanks Alot In Advance!

 

You need to take out those Bosch plugs and put in NGK platinums or NGK Vpower coppuer plugs.

By The Way, Why Do You Type Like This?

 

yea, u gotta get rid off it..BOSCH PLATINUM for the max is a big NO NO i think the reason why it's doin that is because your getting too much sparks but yea.. just get some NGK's and u be ight!!!

 

i had the same problem with bosch....definitely go with ngk they're much much better.

 

Will It Mess Up The Car If I Drive It To My House To Change The Plugs, Its About A 15-20 Min Drive On The High Way, Right Now I Have It Parked At My Girls Apartments?

 

it's possible..

 

Just drive home and swap the plugs... it's no big deal.

 

Make sure you plugged all your coil packs back in.

 

Thanks To Everybody That Responded! Yall Have Made My Day!!!

 

You don't get any more spark with a Bosch Platinum plug than you do with a good NGK or Denso plug. You still only get one spark, no matter how many tips there are; the spark just jumps to whichever tip is nearest, even by the most microscopic amount.

The only reason for multiple tips is that it makes it easier to manufacture a longer-lasting plug for less money that way. I'd give more details but somehow I don't think anyone really cares about the technicalities...

As I understand it, the problem with those Bosch plugs is that they can disrupt airflow in a combustion chamber that isn't designed to work with them.

on the NGK suggestion. Denso Iridiums work fine too, but they're expensive.

 

I've had my Bosch sparks plugs in for a about a year now and havent had any problems with them. Could it be something with the installation? Because if it is even if he does switch back and installs the NGK's the same way he would have the same problem.

 

SO R U SAYING THAT EVEN IF I SWITCH TO THE NGK'S, I WOULD STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? WHAT DO U SUGGEST?

 

JUST SWITCH TO THE NGKs and you'll be fine AND STOP SHOUTING. Make sure you seat the coils properly and make sure you hear each connector "click" for the coils - so you know that they are all plugged in properly.

 

I suggest you look at your coil packs and see if one is unplugged. I did the same thing when I changed mine last time.

 

That's the Difference Of Typing Like This, And LIKE THIS...

(you betcha)

 

Not using NGK's is not really going to cause a major misfire, as long as they are gapped correctly. I agree that NGK's are the best to use but if a person swaps out plugs and uses Bosch instead of NGK's and has a major misfire problem it is a most likely a coil pack that was not plugged back in. Some of you guys think not using NGK's will make your car blow up or something. I would guess half the 4th gen maxima's driving around in the US are not using NGK's.

 

I don't like to tell people this but I used to drive a Geo Metro... yes it sucked and I am 6'-4" but i got it for free. I replaced my plugs with Bosch plugs once also and it ran for ****. Changed them out and it was night and day difference, I'll never use Bosch plugs in my vehicles.
