suberdave Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 i know a good plug should be kinda brownish, but these plugs are more of a red. these came out of my EJ20G swaped wagon... they have about 5K on them, what do you think? -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 You running any fuel additives or octane booster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 thats kinda normal for plugs when you run additives or gas with extra stuff added in. i run chevron gas which has techron. most gas companies add cleaners and such to their fuels. thats most likely all the problem is on that.

daeron Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Any time I have to "read" spark plugs, I have to go hunting on the net for the image from the back page of a hayne's manual.... that page is one of the single most useful printed pages in automotive history.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think that Might be due to the Additive´s Chemical Propierties / Added Colours \ Plus Engine operatin´ Temps. Beside the Colour, I see that Plug so Normal, but Red. ...the image from the back page of a hayne's manual.... that page is one of the single most useful printed pages in automotive history. Could you Post a Pic of That Here? Thanx!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithless88 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I don't know how many times I have stopped and just starred at that page while flipping through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I don't know how many times I have stopped and just starred at that page while flipping through it. Yah, right?!?? Personally, I will never forget the first day I saw a Haynes book where they actually put it on the inside back cover, and printed it in COLOR.. Until then, the page always made me think, "Gee, how useless is a black and white photo in that situation?" but i STILL CAN'T GET THEM ALL SET IN MY MIND!!!!! without the page, I only have vague notions, and (more frustratingly) utterly zero confidence in my own judgment.

You and me both. I always keep that book open when changing the plugs out. I'm clueless without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
