well i changed my sparkplugs today and took some pics.the car was boggey.and still is slightly even with new plugs.my car is ls/vtec and all oem parts.the check engine light is not on.what should i gap my new plugs too right now there at .44.thats what i read for stock b16.or should i bump it up to .50 gsr stock?

 

do it .032"

good for all motor

 

those are way rich

 

whats your compression ratio?

I'd leave it at stock gap or maybe a little smaller at .40-.42

 

.035"~.040"

 

yeh i thought those look way too rich,im running a phearable.net ecu

Pull your intake air temperature sensor out of your intake manifold or your intake & ensure that the tip of the sensor is not melted.

I have seen several people improperly wire up there vehicles causing a IAT sensor to melt and report very low iat temps causing the vehicle to run rich.

A common mistake is to burn q31 on the ecu by mixing up the 2 wire plugs on the engine harness!
(Intake air temperature sensor should be a green wire & red/yellow stripe wire.)

 

hey theres my guy.yea i will double check that

 

i went outside today and checked and yes the plugs were switched and the tip of the iat sensor was melted,what iat sensor can i use?from any b series?

my hatch was doing the samehting till i changed the spark plugs, still did it then i noticed that the CEL code was for the map sensor i looked and the strut bar was hitting it and casued it to shave off the lip it had for the clip to attach to so i just zip tied the plug to the map sensor haha.
