Checked spark plugs. The plug is an NGK BP6ES for those that might want to know. This is #4 plug, other 3 in similar condition. Would seem to indicate over fueling, or misfire condition across all 4 cylinders...
Most of my guys like to go with NGK plugs
That’s hilarious I just swapped the exact same plugs this morning in my Lotus, cheapies for iridium, what a difference.
The new NGK spark plugs do not need anti-seize per NGK. The anti-seize is already in the metal.
So the BKR7EIXs are in and gapped to .028. Man what a difference. Everything is so much smoother and the engine doesn't feel strung out anymore.
Replace the spark plug with a genuine NGK plug.
I always get the oem brand because that works the best for your car. I get NKGs for my vw beetle
I have replaced the four spark plugs with properly gapped VW (NGK) plugs and still the #2 misfires cold and randomly thereafter. The original ones looked quite normal actually - chocolaty brown. Very little wear and a .032" gap.
I changed them over to the NGK bkr7eix #2667 and was wondering if spark plugs would have any effect on boost? It seems like the car isn't boosting as it should, I have a boost gauge and it also seems the PSI is a couple LBs lower than before the spark plug change. I have not experienced any misfires (that I can tell) and no CEL it's just the boost doesn't seem as high.
First step, get those Bosch Platinums to a trash can where they belong. Even when I was in Bosch Fuel Injection Training School back in the early 90's, the Bosch Instructors were telling us not to put them in anything unless we wanted to start chasing driveability issues.
