Bad plugs or what?
So it got to about 83 degrees here to day (hot to me) and i went out after school to my car which was about 100 degrees inside. so i obviously turned on the a\c. driving fine then going to leave a stops light it bogs down like a mother for a few tries to get moving. wtf? i turn off the a\c and red line first gear to see if it needs to be cleared out of something. but even with the a\c off the next light it bogs again. when ur tring to turn the corner with cars coming at u that isn't very fun. i just put new plugs in last summer, but that's what it feels like to me. any other suggestions as to what could be causing this? o yea and i ran sea foam through it this spring also.

uhmmmm i was having problems with the plugs misfiring in mine and it had similar symptoms. It wasnt all the plugs fault though it was the casing that went over them... something was wrong with it if i remember right. Not Arcing properly? does that sound right?? sorry its been awhile and im not good with these terms.

I'm pretty sure the ACDelco plugs I bought for my car were just relabeled NGK Iridiums. They said JAPAN on them and had another number stamped into them as well, but I didn't think to write it down. I paid 17 bucks per plug from the dealer, but you can get the NGK's in pairs for about the same price.

i had the same problem. when i pulled away from the stop sign it would bog a few times. i replaced the plugs and it went away. i used NGK G Power. make sure that the boots for your spark plugs are lined up properly. when i did my plugs it took me awhile to get the boots on correctly.

If you're going to get iridiums, get the Denso Iridiums. Excellent plugs.
