Spark plug looks weird

[90mitsu3clipse]

I re-wired my fuel pump and pulled my plugs 2 hours later.. Does it look like my car is running rich?

It looks pretty healthy to me. Why do you think you're having problems?

 

[90mitsu3clipse]

Just curious.. I'm waiting on my data logger from ebay I ordered the other day. But it seems to run different since I re-wired the pump. It seems to smell rich when its idling.. I will take a picture of mr NGK Iridiums tomorrow and post them..

 

[90mitsu3clipse]

These plugs are only a week or two old...

 

[brute]

What fuel pump do you have?

 

[90mitsu3clipse]

Stock fuel pump, how much do they flow with 13.4 volts?

 

[Pro3racer]

I'll chime in quick and say don't run Iridiums, only bpr6es or 7es(depends on your mods). Those plugs look absolutly....normal.

Did you clean the plugs before you changed rewired the pump?

 

[donmagicjuan]

They look red to me. Are you mixing octane booster in your fuel?

 

[Defiant]

Give up on trying to read the plugs on a closed-loop feedback fuel injected car running whatever the hell that crap coming out of the pumps is.

I can't even remember the last time I smelled gasoline, but it sure wasn't at a gas station. God knows what color that shit's going to burn.

^^^ Agreed ^^^

Seattle runs 10% ethanol for most the year any more. 10% used to only be ran for parts of the year, other times they would drop the mixture down to 7% or even 5%. I haven't seen anything but 10% for the last two years.

I'm curios what percentage you all get at the pump where your living?

"that plug makes me think of martians"

They look red to me. Are you mixing octane booster in your fuel?

That was my first thought as well...

 

[90mitsu3clipse]

Nope, no octane booster. I get my data logger t/m, do you guys know if it can monitor EGT's.

 

[UMR98GSX]

To monitor your EGT's you will need an EGT probe and gauge. Tap the probe into the #1 runner of your manifold 1-2" from the block.

It's the new fortified fuel with 5% more iron.

Iron? I thought my car was a little less anemic,
