My 2002 accent, started running rough and using a lot of fuel the last month or so.setting off MIL , put my code reader on it, and came up with po301&po304 cyl 1 & 4 misfire. tested coil & wires , all ok. then checked sparkplugs that i had installed 3 months previous. center electrodes were completely gone on the #1 & 4 plugs," Bosch platinum sparkplugs". I have already sent a letter to bosch to hear their take on this. was wondering if any one else has experienced this? i would be interested to know. B

Seems very strange that those electrodes are gone. Are you absolutely sure that they where actually changed?
Personally I wouldn't run the Bosch Plats in that car. (just use whatever Hyundai calls for)

Put Bosch plus 4 plugs on my 99 Accent and 04 Elantra with no problems at all. Great plugs. Maybe the place you got them from gave you the wrong plugs for your car.
