Please Help! Please!
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 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.

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.
