HI,
Replaced my plugs with bosch 2's and changed wires about 1000 miles ago (maybe a little less). Now when I startup the truck (almost every time) it runs really rough for a few minutes till it warms up a bit. Gas mileage is now down to 10 MPG in town! Was getting 15 or so. Have run injector cleaner through the system with no results. Check engine light has not come on.
Help anyone??

Go back to stock autolite platinum. Maybe decrease the gap a bit. I had Bosch P+4s and went thru 3 plugs in the #3 cyl. Got rid of em, and things have been fine. Still think I'm running a bit lean in #3, but I'm gonna wait 1000mi before I read the plugs again. Good luck.
