Alright I went insane on the side of the road. I was driving back from home and one of my cylenders wasnt firing and a engine light went on pulled over immediately. I had a issue with not getting a coil pack off and procrastinated taking it off somehow. well 5k miles later it bit me in the ***. So trying again taking the coil pack off with no success I went ape **** grabbed a steak knike I had in the back of the car I dont know why I cut the plastic off next to the bolt and changed the plug sure enough that thing looked like hell. Melted electrode and the ceramic area had some black on it basically the thing overheated a plug. had the plug I was gonna change it with in my car and put it in and surprising enough I thought I had a exhaust leak the whole time it was the damn plug making that noise so now my car runs really good now.

Moral of the story dont procrastinate and change you plugs when you need to even if the god damn coil pack wont come off.

 

Good to know. What sound was it making? I should probably change my plus pretty soon.

 

A ticking noise through my low RPM range. But it would only do it once in awhile. Really ticked me off because I though it was a exhaust leak but I took it off and made sure it was snug underneath. I just cant believe I put it off that long it's not like myself

 

gotta keep up on stuff like that. especially with a modified vehicle because it only costs more down the road.

what if you really melted that plug to the head? what would you do then?

 

I actually thought I did the antiseize on it was pretty well ummm how to put this smoothly f*****. And I didnt really realize on modded cars how fast we can eat through copper plugs. How long are copper plugs supposed to last anyways?

 

well you are spraying so you should be looking at them anyways.but I wouldnt run coppers more than 15-20k. autolites 103s are..what...8 bucks for 8?
lol

 

Actually I havent sprayed in a few months due to needing to get some things fixed on my car. So i've been taking it easy on nothing but motor. But when I do spray I do watch my plugs carefully. It just ticked me off that I didnt change that plug because the coil pack wouldnt come off. I really dont care if that bolt wont come out i'm thinking about getting that aluminum trickflow lower intake when price goes down a bit or a sale.
