hello.

if my car is running very rich, which i think it does, can the rich-condition steal a lot of horsepower?

Re: quick question about spark plugs

cool.

considering the state my air/fuel/oil filter was in, i dont think plugs has been changed for good while either. because that job sucks compared to filter-change on the ej20.

Re: quick question about spark plugs

hello.

can worn spark plugs cause hard starting when the engine is warm? there is something wrong with either my spark plug(s) or my coil(s). having slight misfire when my boost hits 14 psi. im currently in winter-modus, so im more useless than usual :/
