Default got code 72: cylinder 2 misfire

my plugs were bad, there was a small hint of white spot, from what I understand, it indicates a detonation from JBSadler.

I need to replace the plugs as it looks very bad, black carbon deposit with white spots all over it...

I was running rich ever since the turbo went it which is about a week and a half ago.....and I replaced the stock plugs with 7 series NGK about a week ago, and ever since then I was still running rich....

anyone have that problem..???

Are you sure you installed everything in the kit right?

I would have art or mark look over it

Well, I had several exhaust, boost and fuel leaks...
but there' all have been fixed so far....(I didn't install the O-ring on the wastegate flange) as of now, the car is running a lot better and quieter but I can still hears a bog on the exhaust muffler tip.....

I am ordering a set of new plugs, hopefully that'll solve the problem....

while we're on the subject, I checked with local source, they have BKR7E-VX11
will this work ? I believe the ones I got from Ben is the BKR7E-I11...I may be wrong, I am gonna check my plugs again..

TIA

I re-gapped the plugs ( I was at .36mm ) and resetted the battery....
drove it for half an hour and bam...the CEL is on again....code 72.

I am going to order the spark plugs, but if the CEL is throwing a code 72 again after a new plugs, then I wouldn't know what to do...
