I suggest you buy two or three sets and have them on hand. They are getting hard to get at the local store nowadays...just have them sell you a few sets. I replace them often.. Rich |

QUOTE(avidfanjpl @ Mar 12 2011, 11:17 PM) Help me solve something related to my Bosch plugs. This is a totally stock 73 2.0L Djet. It is running lean. Plugs look cold and light beige. Joe Sharp said I was too lean. How do I pick a better plug or make it run less lean? At first years ago I was blackening the plugs, but then timing and a new harness from from Jeff B seems to make it run lean. is there something else to do besides plugs? I am pretty sure timing is spot on at 27BTDC at 3300 rpm. Checked it 3 times. Thanks! John Plugs ain't gonna help a lean condition. Check your fuel pressure first. You can unplug the air temp sensor on the plenum to richen things up. There are also a bunch of other settings that can affect it. |

Air temp sensor. EASY and Interesting!
Will try it tomorrow and take a drive. Thanks! John |

Gang,
I've finally gotten around to new plugs, which hadn't been touched since I bought her a few years ago. Here's how the old Bosch WR7CC's looked - a little rich I'd say.  So I picked up a new set of NGK BP6ES, which should run a bit hotter and help with that rich condition, I hope. They had them "in stock" at the FLAPS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll let you know how they work out. Cheers, Baz |

Bosch plugs gapped to 027, I believe. They run nice and light beige.
I change them every other oil change. John QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Mar 11 2011, 01:07 PM) What have you found to work well in your 2.0 injected engine? |

Everything went smooth on the change-out. Plugs were VERY easy to access - unlike the other Porsches!
Car runs GREAT! Not sure if I can tell any seat of the pants difference but down the road when I take them out I guess I'll be able to compare with the old Bosch's. 2.0 power baby!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |
