Today i just replaced the spark plugs in my 2002 explorer with Bosch Platinum2 Spark Plug's from the old original Motocraft plugs now my explorer runs sooo rough you can feel the engine shaking when im driving i dont know why also my check engine soom popped on few times when i was driving it was flashing . I thought these Bosch Platinum 2 Spark plugs were really great? should i go back to the basic plugs that you gap? im using the same plug wires.

I did each spark plug one by one i only disconneted one each time when i replaced them just for that reason. im gonna buy new wires in the morning maybe i pulled one to hard some were pretty tight and i did pulled the wires from the boot. someone else told me i might of had a disconnected suction hose but i rechecked all hoses so thats ok. He told me to change Distributor Cap if that does anything.
 






I won't put Bosch plugs in anything. I've never had good luck with them.

Did you check the gap before installing them? Maybe dinged and electrode installing them and closed down the gap?
 






I give up with these bosch plugs im gonna get some autolite plugs in the morning the gapping kind lol ill never buy bosch again what a waste of money i guess thats why there the only ones with these 2 & 4 no gapping electrode guess they dont work i just hope those bosch plugs didnt damage my engine!!
