Thread: sparkplug melted

why??

its like the tip kind of melted away. ill have pics soon.

any thoughts??

Im assuming you mean the electrode end, the end that goes in the motor.

Check here and see which one is closer to what yours looks like. Hopefully it will help you pin down the issue.

Spark Plug Diagnosis

yea the electrode end. kind of looks like the one that says melted, but worse. i have over heated a few times, wonder if this would be the cause. i think im leaking coolent but dont know where, that will be another thread.

i have no idea. i dont have an a/f gauge. hopefully i can get it tuned pretty soon and get some more fuel in there.

you getting enough fp at wot?

and i dont think i can get pics up, the camera will not allow me to get close enough to take a good picture (blurry) but it looks like the melted plug on the link posted above.

well i dont know that either, dont have a gauge to check that either :/

it only did it to one plug, is that weird??

It may be the specific injector might not be delivering enough fuel. I dunno, I'm just getting into FI.

Use the macro button (looks like a flower). Sets the camera to focus on something close up.

your a good man.

thats the best i could get, still not the best tho.

youve never tuned your car with all the breathing mods you have. youre running lean or an injector took a dump on you.

have you been running all this time without a scanner?

nope no tune or scanner, dont know anybody that has one. tune should be coming pretty soon

buy an ls1m or a scan gauge now.

i was about to buy the aeroforce last week, but i lost my job and have to save all my money for the baby thats about to be born any time now. im trying to limp it threw till i can get one. thats why i want to atleast get the tune on.

i guess ill just keep checking the plug and hopefully sometime next week get out to have it tuned, maybe he can scan it, see what he can come up with (tdc) and i can go do a little side work for some money to get a scanner.

Perfect example of why a scanner should be one of the first things you get. I can't see how people comfortably mod an electronic car without a way to scan.
