Question About Foul Plugs.
Well...Today I was driving and all the sudden, the car died. I pulled over at a seven eleven and I cant figure out what is giong on. I check the IC piping, the Bipes connections, looks for oil, didnt find nothing. well eventually, ten minutes later, i found that the Pipe off the Throttle Body poped off. Well before I figured this out, i was reving the car and what not, and saw black smoke ( thank god it wasnt white :D) So, then I found the culprit and tightened it up. Now it missed fired. I drove it home and found One foul plug. I know Plan on getting some new NGK's Tommorrow. I have a few questions
1. Is .030 a good gap for turbo'd car plugs? 2. Missfiring, does it run on one less cylinder or does the foul plug fire, but not as strong? 3. Do I just buy regular NGKS (Iradium/Platnum) and gap them, Or is there a specific "colder" plug that I need to buy? I didnt even know there was cold plugs and hot plugs. Sorry for the headache guys Thanks :bigtu: |
get BKR7Es and just throw them in.
stop breaking your car. you are officially the new RicanRacer.... |
just throw them in. |
because they come pregapped.
|
FWIW, the BKR6Es I just bought were between .040 and .048. I'd still gap 'em yourself.
|
well glad it took you 7 months for that.....

On another note: Slidin is the first person I've seen with a negative feedback total...
I love thread resurrections. |
I used the search function (gasp!)
It tends to bring up some old threads. |
Did You Know? the search function has a date criteria.
|
*sigh*
So what, then, is the date limit for contributing to a topic? I though maybe since information about plug gap is still as relevant today as it was last August that it might not hurt to throw my two cents in. |
so, did you search just to add .02c?
|
Nope. Searched to find a recommendation for plug gap, came across this thread during said search, noticed a post claiming NGKs come pre-gapped (supposed to, anyway), noticed mine were not only gapped too large for our needs as they came, but the gap was inconsistant. I then proceeded to post my findings on the interweb for the good of the community.
Didn't think it'd be that big of a deal.. |
;)
