did you check the gap on each plug to make sure they were within spec? did you torque the plugs down to spec? one of those two things could be the answer to your problem.
You can't just tighten the plugs until you see fit.. They have torque specifications.. When you use a torque wrench, you can set it so you don't over or under tighten something..Spliced16 said:pardon my ignorance, but i have no idea what you're talking about. i bought the plugs that were designed for my car (98 ex), installed them and new spark plugs wires. all this about torque and air gap, i have no idea.
You don't necessarily NEED to use a torque wrench when doing plugs.. I forget what it tells you in the service manual for if you don't have one.. It tells you like how many turns you should tighten it or something.. Maybe someone knowsSpliced16 said:uh oh. so without a torque wrench, i'm kinda screwed, huh? i didn't think there was that much to it...
so what do you think i should do? see if i can find one?
