hey sup guys, well my itr is turboed and i just had replaced the plugs last week w/ bkr6's i went out last night to look at them cuz i was goin to replace them w/ 7's and they all were already dark and sooty, i also noticed they had a bit of moisture on them, gas.. i have had a few problems w/ starting up, if i dont hold my gas down to about 1500 -2000 rpms for a few minutes my car will completely stall out and then it will take a while to start. guessing this has to do something w/ my fuel pump? well if anyone has a few pointers itd be great, thanks!

did they smell like gas? what fuel system are you using? you might be running too rich at idle.

 

shouldnt you be running a much colder plug with a turbo...like a heat range 8...maybe thats the cause of your starting problem, although being honest i know very little about turbo'd motors, maybe the FI forum would be of better help...

 

7 heat range is fine for average setup. by wet? you mean fuel? oil? or water/coolant? give more details. is your setup tuned and what fuel managment are you running? are your running fmu/standalone, injectors and all that stuff.

 

yeah wet, as in fuel. its tuned on hondata s200b, walbro 255 fuel pump, and rc440 injectors. i am scheduled to have my car retuned by jeff evans on the 15th (next friday) but i dont want to take him my car running like ****

 

disconnect the the plug for the fuel tank evap line that goes to intake manifold.. its purple denso connector. with your setup, fuel vapors are released at startup adding to rich idle.. or is this at all times?
