So I've been having problems with my car idleing, cleaned iacv and fitv, no help, and also the engine won't rev past 6500 and will cut out, and sometimes misfires. I want to know if this picture looks like I'm running lean to u guys. These are what the plugs look like from WOT and idle, both times they look like this.Thanks for any help.

looks fine... are there any little black dots on the white part?

 

Yeah Theres small black dots on there, really small, and at the tip of the electrode it's black, which I assume is normal, I thought they looked lean cause I thought the part that's white is suppose to be caramel color.

 

wats done to ur motor?

They look a little bit on the lean side to me.

You're saying it's cutting out on you?

Check the fuel pressure if you can.

How are the spark plug wires?

 

how can you tell its lean??

1st the ring base is black as hell indicating rich

2nd the camera is focused on the hand and not the plug, its so damn blurry lol

PM'd you with some suggestions

 

One of u is saying it's lean and one of u is saying it's rich, o and I finally got it to rev to about 7500 today for the first time in a month, and I noticed that the tach, it's a stock integra LS tach that redlines at 6800, as soon as it goes into redline the tach instantly goes straight down to like 9000 rpms so it seams like it's getting screwed up even though the engine isn't that high, now it's still having the same problem, still won't rev past 6800, it just let me once, which I thought was weird. O and thx for the info cd5 jeebies I'll try giving em a call tomorrow.

 

yeah I taslked to you before....you have a H22 in a DA??? dude you gotta come down to the shop..**** Ill even meet you down there.....

oh and I highly reccomend trying to keep beting it to see if you can reach 7500 Rpms...if somethings wrong be as gentile as possible

 

Ok I'll try to be more gentle with it. Yeah and it's in a dc integra, but I'm only 17 and I did it all myself with almost no help , took me 6 months though with school. Yeah that would be awesome to meet u, what day would work for u? I could probly drive my car down some day next week!

 

sounds like you have low oil pressure...

 

Your plugs are fine. You want to be looking for white speckles on your electrode... not black ones. If you have white speckles this means you are running into detonation.

 

yeah what he said.., black specs means the porcelin is melting at those spots..

fyi. white specs.. are melted pieces of Aluminum which have scraped off the wall and melted on the plugs which is detonation

 

Why does his timing look too far advanced? look at the ground strap.

 

Where's the grounding strap? The timing might be wrong cause I took of the distributor to replace my internal coil a month ago and forgot to mark where it was, so when I put it back on I forogt where it went so I put it in the middle and hoped for the best, but am having problems now.

 

sounds like that could effect it quiet a bit^^
