    What makes certain spark plugs not work in certain engines?

    Thank you. I misunderstood your post- I thought you meant one could see the difference between Bosch and other brands on the scope. Just my experience, but I have used all sp brands in about 25 cars (and 4 motorcycles) and never had a problem. Don't understand what the problem is unless its...
