dude...those pics suck! lol.

You need to make your camera focus on the plug, so that it isn't soo blurry.

Do they all look like that? Or was that just plug #4?

i tried but i only have a cheap ass camera and the only way it would focus is far away and u can even see the plug then..lol but u can still see they are white..lol

they all liook like that everyone

I did a search and for white plugs it says that the cyl temp is too high... and your running too lean?

Well, idk, but just change 'em now.

Go to auto parts store and ask for (4) ngk bpr6es. They are cheap and the only plugs that our cars like.

You know, those plugs might just be really old..

Some things you can check:

Boost leaks
Replace o2 sensor
clean your MAF
change fuel filter
Your not running the correct octane gas
You live in CA, and get even worse piss gas, than the rest of us
and small possibility of weak/bad fuel pump

u see im running iradium plugs in my car now so that might be the problem...

well i did the cmpression test today and i got 120 psi across the board but i just realized i forgot to hold the throttle open while doing so im wondering if that ill have a huge impact to bring the compression up that much

Do it again.

120psi across the board = fail

boostedGST · 08-16-2008, 11:31 PM

im hoping that would have made a big effect on the car cause 120 is bad news
ill let u know tomorrow im gonna get ur done again tomorrow and see what happens
to jump at least another 50 psi thats quite a bit

boostedGST · 08-18-2008, 08:42 PM

so i did the test and my compression is at 155 across the board so im hoping that ok im mean my battery terminals arnt the best the car keeps anting to die and my battery is full of corossion

jonbonazza · 08-18-2008, 09:30 PM

Thats an easy fix tho. change the battery and terminals.

ya im gonna go to parts store today and get some new ones and just yesterday i upgraded my ground wires to 4 gauge wire as well

Low compression can be fix by a boost controller lol.

boostedGST · 08-19-2008, 03:45 PM

lol ya sure if i wanna blow up my motor...lol
