16657, Spark plugs?
Posted by 372GSX, Feb-28-02 04:02 PM
I have been running into a problem lately. When I floor the accelerator and the boost starts to build up., around 3-4k rpm's my car will bog down, it sounds like it is misfiring or something. This happened about 10000 miles ago also and was corrected by installing new spark plugs. This time I installed new spark plugs and 8mm plug wires and it still isn't fixed. maybe I put in some garbage plugs this time. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this hesitation/misfiring problem?

What are you gapping them to and what plugs are you actually running?

This time around I am running Bosch Platium +4's that are pregapped at I think about .32 or something. I am going to swap them out for a more conventional plug. what would you suggest?

I would suggest the Bosch platinum +4 are proven to be crap and you should go with a standard heat range NGK gapped to .028 :D

hey cyan, they quoted me 0.8 hrs of labor at 70 bux/hr to do mine (99) so yours would prolly be a lil more expensive.

yours is way down, by the rear motor mount.
