hesitation after spark plug change

I need some expert opinion / advice. My 2005 Civic VP has about 162K miles on it. I just changed the spark plugs about a week and a half ago. The day after I replaced them the car would not start until about 4 attempts. Ever since then, the car has a hesitation / surge issue. Do you think it has something to do with changing the plugs or is that just coincidence? What should I check? Thanks in advance for your help

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: hesitation after spark plug change

Since this complaint started immediately after changing the plugs, logic says to revisit what you just did.


Did you use the correct NGK PZFR6F-11 plugs?


I'm guessing no. Your complaint sounds like Bosch Platinums.
