Doing my driving season prep checklist and notice a modest black carbon buildup on #1&2 plugs; #3&4 plugs looked fine. Wired brushed and cleaned electrodes.
What might be causing the carbon on just the left side? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Everything else runs fine though still a bit rich overall based on tailpipe A/F meter reading. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Thanks!! |

PS: 1.8L.
Also, Replaced the four original injectors late the year before with rebuilt/tested ones from Mr. Injector. Adjusted all valves about the same time; maybe missed the settings on left side valves?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
