2. if there is no way of telling that its 'fouled out' by not looking at the plugs how can i tell they are when i look at the plugs, what do i look for?

how is that an answer?


Basically what you're going to feel is hesitation and the idle is going to suck....i'm actually waiting on a set of plugs right now. My idle is so bad that i have to left foot brake and keep the right foot on the gas or my car will stall....

so your car idles alot lower than ussual?

is that the only symptom? also how can i tell by looking at the plug that it is in fact fouled out?

 

The time it took you to post this thread you could have pulled your plugs.

They will be black as dirt and/or wet from fuel. The car will also run crappy... especially at idle... if it even starts.

Gotta be old school (not saying I'm that old )...it was a funny thread

edit: I just saw you registered the day before me...you must ahve just missed it. I think it happened like a yaer ago or so

 

I can't piece it together either. Maybe that makes us two dee-dee-dee's.

 

Plugs will be jet black and would have a wet look to them. if you really have let it go on for a while then ive seen buildup in the plug gap.

caused by running rich. poor ignition tuning. If i were you id get a wideband and go and tune your fuel at least.

 

plugs look fine but when the car is fully warmed up the idle is like 400rpm off from what the hondata is set for?
