            Its the electrodes on the bosch. Especially the platinum 4's they spark can only travel to one electrode closest to the middle so which ever one of the 4 is the closest to the center gets the spark and the others are left doing nothing.

            And they cost like 6.99 or so each, I had a set and didnt notice any big difference. I only used the bosch because they were free.

                i always used ngk in my accord. as of right now i have a set of bosh platinum 2 seems fine. going to change to ngk for turbo. im looking for a colder spark plug soon. i used bosch platinum 2 in my civic hatch and they fouled out. car wouldnt start. changed to ngk v-power and nothing but good things.

                  i think the honda ignition just isnt quite powerful enough to give a good spark with the platinum 4's... ppl have issues with them at higher RPMs. nothing inherently wrong with bosch plugs in general. cant go wrong with NGK/OEM.

                    i have bosch platinum 4's on my cb7 but also have a full msd ignition system. i have to say i noticed a difference between the NGK and Bosch. denzo was better than both but too expensive. Right now my platinum 4's have been on for well over 50k miles and i have no issues and they still look perfect. each car is different and will handle differently with different plugs

                      I think there are a bunch of threads on plugs...Most seem to say go with NGK. I put a set of Autolites in my car and drove for a test drive and pulled them out when I got back. I put the older set of NGK's in and it is amazing the difference between them. The NGK's, even though they are older, make the car run a million times better. Just my 2 cents...

                            We've ran Bosch Plats (just regular plats) and NGK Plats

                            No problem out of either.

                            NGK is usually the factory recommended though

                              Always used OEM NGK. As for Bosch Wires they can go to hell. THey are teh suck.
