Sorry for posting this in the FI forum, but I know you guys have more experiance with tuning, etc.



What caused the ceramic part to break? WTF!

Also here is the color of the plug...it only has 73 miles on it so it might be to early for it to show anything.

 

Somebody probably broke it,either installing it or removing it

 

(smartass) Ummm...it looks like you broke it. (/smartass)

 

My god...are they that "sensative"? Ive never had this problem in the past...but I did use a new socket where I had to wiggle it off pretty hard to get it off the plug...damn rubber piece in the end was too tight.

At least it isnt something to motor caused.

 

And the color is due to octane booster, if you used it that is.

question is where is the other piece?

I always remove teh rubber gromit from the socket when reinstalling.. it makes it easier to remove the socket...

now go find the missing piece...

 

Yes I tried some octane booster...I guess Ill have to wait til the next tank of gas to get a true reading.

 

The missing pieces fell on the ground after I removed the spark plug from the socket.

 

I guess you should have said that first....You probably broke it taking it out. The plug would have serious damage to it if it broke the ceramic part, which it pretty much looks fine...See the black scar/rub mark along the ceramic area, that would lead me to think you hit the plug with the socket before you were set around the hex area.

cant measure by looking but the gap looks too small also , could just be the picture though.
