3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Not even Detroit engines run Champions I heard. Only lawn mowers!
I'd use Autolite or Delco than Champion. Of course I highly recommend NGK Iridium-IX or Laser Iridium (Laser is not listed for the stinking Gen 4 waste spark systems, for some reason). Do verify application on NGK's online catalog.
Stay Away from any plugs that are not NGKs or Densos. They are designed for our car, all others seem to fail & not give optimum performance. That includes BOSCH.

SADLY, SHE HAS MUCH MORE MODS...
I've always heard that Boschs were designed AND work better in german cars. "a good friend of mine" who happens to be an awesome mechanic informed me of this because I bought Boschs for my Toyota Cressida and developed a misfire after 10,000 miles. He suggested I replace them with Denso platinums.
That being said, I am pretty sure I am the first to guinea pig the E3 Diamond Fire spark plugs. I put them in my 1MZ when the supercharger got installed just last Friday. Not one problem as of yet, and I am hoping they work perfectly the whole time. I will keep everyone posted. I'm not saying they are better than any of the other ones, just saying I wanted to see for myself.

Stay away from anything that's not specifically made for your car. Most japanese cars work best with NGK, Denso, possibly autolite but def stay away from Bosch with its +2 and +4...that just means X2 or X4 the problems and the headaches. Champion is just an alternative to useing "Mopar" last I checked which belongs on Dodge Pee-Ons.
In fact I believe there was a lawsuit against bosch for their multiple tipped sparkplugs having the tip break off in the engine and causing internal damage. Dont mark my words on that but I'm pretty sure I heard about it.

i just bought a set of autolite iridium. Been running ngk IX and denso iridium plugs for awhile, decided to try something new. So far, so good. As for champion, i wouldnt run it on my car.
