Default Just swapped out Denso IK-22 spark plugs for the Bosch Platins.
No other reason other than the IK-22s have been in the car for about 45K miles. I've never had any misfire issues or plug problems.

After the install, drove around for about 20 minutes to see how they felt. After about 5 minutes, the car started misfiring like hell. This lasted for about 3-4 minutes and then went away. I recollect this happening when I first installed my IK-22s, but not this bad.

Any reason, other than the plugs heating up for the first time and getting settled in?!?

thanks for your input.

Default i got misfire DTCs when i first installed my platins but cleared it and never came back
never felt the misfires though.

2nd. I've had PLATINs since 5,000 miles and never had a problem. Same with many others.
