My car had 4 leading spark plugs !!!
Yesterday, while changing my plugs/wires/coils i realized my 8 was running on 4 leading spark plugs! i bought the car 4 months ago and it had 93000kms and now has 101000kms. The old plugs looked pretty worn out so im assuming my car was running on 4 leading plugs for at least a good 25000km, if not more.
Does any one know the potential damage this may cause, if any? Also, a few months ago i got a misfire code which lit up the check engine light but the light disppeared a week later. My car has also been drinking industrial amounts of gas 20L/100km which is about 11 mpg. Does any one see a link between these issues and having 4 leading plugs? thanks |
shouldn't cause any major damage.
dont' some of the FI guys run all leading plugs anyways? misfire code could be a fluke, could have been related to the plugs, or it could be your ignition coils |
Damn, not sure what/if that would cause any damage.
|
didnt red forks car have 4 leading too when he changed his
|
I do not recall
|
i think some fi guys do this shouldnt have done any damage
|
Not a big deal
|
Sucks to hear that, did you buy the car new?
Some mazda dealerships here in Italy (and a couple elsewhere in europe) did replace the plugs with 4 leading plugs more than once... |
no i bought the car second hand...
