I had bosch in my 00 and never had any problems. What did you gap them at? Both of those plugs are really carbonized..(running Rich or fuel not buring all the way.) Check the wires for cracks The 1 Plug wire can rub against the header and the #3 gets hot because it's towards the back of the motor.

You asked...
And when I first got the plugs. I asked for Motorcraft, they had 2. I asked for Autolites (3 different kinds) they didn't have enough. So I pretty much settled for the Bosch.

My aunt got my bosch's for christmas and I appreciated that she was taking an interest in what I'm interested but I traded them back in at autozone for store credit lol. And as always, nice exhaust those thrush's sound great.

And keep in mind, the plugs are less than 3 weeks old. I planned on replacing them anyway because they are Bosch. There were no Motocraft plugs around when I needed them.
Plugs look like this...
EDIT:
Misfire on cylinders 1 and 3, I bought Motorcraft plugs and will be putting them on when the car cools down. If I can find the receipt, Autozone said they would refund my money for the Bosch plugs.
