I just changed my Plugs on my 2004 RX8, and both Trailing plugs had Green residue on the end that goes into the boot, Is this normal, if not what would cause it and how would I fix it?

 

Show us a pic....please...could be corrosion.

 

Taking a Picture now, I need to know soon, so i can call into work tomorrow if I need to get more parts

Look at the plug on the left, Around the top it is black like burnt. Thats the only odd things i see

 

holy cow, one of them is chipped lol replace them!

edit: just noticed you said you just replaecd them lol how long ago exactly? They don't look good.

 

I just changed them tonight, these are the old plugs. Just wondering if I needed to change the wires too since those 2 are green, or is it normal?

 

how old were the plugs? I just changed mine last week they were in there for 31k miles and looked nothing like yours on the end.

 

Hope the broken piece from that leading plug didn't do any damage on its way out.

Make sure the connectors on the wires are clean (or use new wires) and put a dab of dielectric grease on them to prevent that corrosion.

The noVo stuff on theead plug is not a chip, there is a burn mark there

 

There is nothing on the plug and its not chipped. There's a burn mark there though

 

I would replace the plugs and wires but before u plug the new wires up, use so electrical sealant grease to prevent corrosion from happening again.

 

Oops sorry Ken-x8 didn't see ur post :-)

 

I just started it after changing plugs and airfilter, now my dsc off light is flashing and the car trac control light is on steady, I tried hitting the dsc button to turn it off and it does nothing

 

Did you disconnect the battery or something? When the happens, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right and your DSC light should turn off. You still need to turn off the car and on again though for the traction control light to turn off.
