Embarrassing story, but worth telling.
My motor is fuel injected and the engine management system is Link. I called NGK to ask their technical support guys why they didn't include the caps on the plugs. The plugs I've been running came without caps as their primarily purpose is as a motor cycle plug I learned. The guy asked me about my engine configuration and then asked me why I wasn't running resistor plugs. He explained that non-resistor plugs could interfere with the signal going to injectors or other critical electrical functions. He also said I should try the new iridium plugs ($$) in the same heat range as they last a long time. Anyway went ahead and got the resistor plugs, (CAREFULLY) gaped them and put them in. When I started the car up you could immediately tell the difference. In the past it never revved this smooth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) It'll be fun to see if this plug change makes a difference at an event. |

I had a physics teacher back in HS (late 60's) who was so worried about gamma rays he lived in his aluminum foil wrapped basement with foil around his head!
Didn't help him anyways, brain dead MF. Sorry, back OT |
