I have them in my 2.2L and have had no problems at all. I've had them in for about 5 months now.

I am a mechanic and there is no way that spark plugs no matter what kind would do that. there is no way they can feed back into the car and cause that.

All i can say is put your stock ones back in and see what happens to it then. If it go's again then you will know it wasnt the plugs and you can tell the shop that.

I gotta agree with Andrew on this.

But if you're like me the original plugs are long gone.

if you got rid of your stock plugs go and get some AC Delco plugs for the
2.2L ecotec engine.

Most chevys run the best with Delco plugs.

I agree with Andrew also. However, If you are going to get rid of them, don't throw them away, they do make good weights when fishing !!!!!!!

Thats why the NASCAR that was sponsored by AC Delco was a Chevy.

When i put plugs in anything i always go with NGK's. I had a snowmobile that every time i started it i needed new plugs until i went with NGK's and they lasted until i stoped riding it a couple of years ago.

you can also make key chains with them. I have a AC Delco one on my HHR keys.

I wouldnt throw them away. Keep them and when you prove the shop wrong about the plugs just put them back in.
