I cleaned my spark plugs and noticed this greenish/yellow substance all over one of them. I cleaned it and then 2 days later it was back. The car bogs when going around turns at a moderate/high speed.

Cracked head gasket?

sounds like coolant. maybe you have a leak somewhere.

if you buy new plugs then you can elimanate the possibilty of fouled plugs and you can check again if your leaking a fluid in your cylinder. you also did not state which side of the plug had "green stuff" on it .. if its on the top side then its possible you messed up the wire.

 

oh i didn't realize anyone answered that topic, it was buried back on the third page with no responses...

thanks for bringing it to my attention

 

so what side of the spark plug is it?

 

Well, when I pulled the spark plug I could see the discoloration on the outside plastic. The yellow/green stuff was also on the plug itself. It's not a thick substance, just that when I wipe it off it comes off like yellowish/green.

****, I just raced my friends '00 2.5RS and lost so I'm getting a little paranoid as to what the problem is!

 

when you say "the outside plastic" im going to assume that you mean the porcelian of the plug .. wich could mean that you have a missing or damaged O-ring. i would sugest replacing the plugs and the wires to eliminate the possibilty. its much easier to start there rather than pulling your head off the block.
