Just admit it. You have no clue. . If the computer does not tell you what parts to replace you can't fix .
I would think it is a fueling issue for sure. Carb bowls draining came to mind first but that should happen with the chocolate and strawberry rather than vanilla. 100 degrees isn't THAT hot, don't think that would be a factor.
Your very close. 100+° shuts car off, rad is now not cooling motor. Heat from motor is trapped under hood. Temperatures in the carb and fuel lines rise and then cool off. The more the carb and fuel lines cool off the more like the motor is to start. The fuel lines are getting a vapor lock as they heat up, and it goes away when it cools off. The guy was happy to learn all he needed to do was pop the hood open a few inches well he was in the store and there was no problem.He did return the car just the same. He figured the people that work on the cars all the time had no idea what was going on and how to fix it, so he did not want to have to trust them to fix a real problem.
Ouch
That video is complete BS. That engine is NOT stock application, with that being said, after changing an engine profile most likely those stock plugs were not of the correct heat range. See you still dont get it. If spark plugs actually increased power we would all be running E3 plugs right now. "Improve power!!! Restore performance!!!! Arrrghhh!!!" If you dont buy these plugs you better be in jail, and if you are in jail, BrEaK OuT!!! Dont forget who delivers the spark silly nuts, its not the plug, its the coil. The plug doesnt randomly decide to have more voltage output. More expensive plugs are just different quality to last longer.
You are correct … I still don’t get what your point is and how you know more about spark plugs than NGK and E3, expert engine builders, dyno testing, NASCAR engine builders, and the fact that V-Man’s problem – hard starting and sluggish throttle response - was solved by simply changing the spark plugs.Gnarls - me and my "silly nuts".
Forgive Me if I asked this question before but, The plug that came out and the plugs that You installed had the same part # correct?
I took out Denso( dealer installed), and put in Bosh plugs. (I had no idea what I was doing) But I should look at the part number on the densos.
Is the bosch (also knows as the worst spark plugs ever made) has a single ground electrode or multiple?can you post a picture of the new plug. Not the one in the truck but an example.
I dunno, there is a resistance value for air gap, but no way if measuring it, easily.
OK home now.The plugs the dealer put in are K20R-U. That answer your question Bgen?
I need more info on the application to know for sure.Make model and year Or PM me the vin to be exact
... Spark plugs do not increase power. ...
So I hope You believe Me when I say this, because it is 100% the truth and possibly Jesse will have similar experiences........ I can promise You with 100% certainty that they will cause issues over time.... I must be getting old as My detective skills are diminishing.
So my thought proccess is this,...
Looking at the pictures you posted they appear to be Sk20r-11 plugs?This is an acceptable spark plug for this vehicle and has an expected life span of 120k miles
Ok Gnarly those look like the ones. They are copper core plugs, but would it make that much of a difference?
How many miles on the engine?Gnarls.
233,437KM( 145,082 Miles).
