For along time i honestly felt that my car was not putting the power down it should. It just felt VERY weak with no low end power what so ever. So yesterday me and my friend decided to do a valve adjustment..Before we did that, we decided to check the spark plugs. Well the first one comes off no problem. we go to cylinder two and the friggin thing was so loose, we unscrewed it by hand!! The same thing with the third. We get to the fourth expecting the same thing ad ******* thing came RIGHT OUT..Pulled it RIGHT out. Which means I as running on like 2 spark plugs!! I could not believe it..I mean on me for not checking it but my car is only 2 years old so i never bothered too. Untop of all this the good spark plug (the one that was in there correctly) had no friggin tip. I really cant explain this one.

 

idiots... This lesson should teach you to check them more often.

 

I don't think your car could run on 2 plugs.

 

dude theres no way the one that was ini there correctly was even doing dick..plus the one that we just lifted out was obviously not doing anything. All this time i knew somethign was wrong.My car runs SO much harder now

BTW with the mods i have i manged to still run 14's,while never touching the spark plugs. I hope to get a MUCH better time now.

 

Either your spark plugs have come loose since you ran 14's, or you have been running on all cylinders this whole time and were maybe losing some compression through the spark plug hole or something because it would be absolutely impossible for you to break 14's on 3 cylinders.

Yeah, I agree. You wouldnt be able to run 14s on 3 cylinders at all, and you should have throw a CEL, I think.

agreed

 

and a one and a two and three i agree...

 

once a cyl goes down, the cel will go on. Also, the engine would be shaking like hell if all cylinders weren't firing,

 

yeah your probably right, i was just losing compresion..but the one was pulled out by hand, as in NO tools.
