Weird F*7%ing problem!!!

[Mitsu725]

i dont know if this is a boost leak or what but i was hauling ass the other nite and all of a sudden my car just acted like some one tied a rope to my car and it made a weird noise by the turbo, so now when i drive nice and easy its perfectly fine but when i floor it, it sputters and misfires, what the hell happened, the only thing i can think of is fouled plugs???

 

[midnght]

Sounds like it to me. Pull them out and check them. Atleast you can find out about 1 possibility.

I would bet on it being that exact problem.

What kind of plugs should i run i know every 1 says the ngk bpr6es but why not the platinum, or irredium, also i have bosch platinum , should i put those on or just go get the NGK BPR6ES???

Stick with what has been proven to work.
BPR6ES.

I used those Bosch plugs you have in your car now cuz they were out of ngks and i was in need. Made my car run like @$$ then got some ngks when they came in and it felt like a different.
Just my two cents.

This is a very common problem, it happened to me too. Get those NGKs, gap them correctly (.028 I believe) and even try getting some 8.5mm wires. I got a set of MSDs for $30 used, and they made a world of difference.

I had this same problem, it is either fouled plugs, for me it was the GAP of the plug that was all wrong (some dumb@$$ before me never gapped the plugs when he put them in) you may want to check that--Tony

I know when I blew off one of my clamps on my UICP I had the same issues. Anytime i went over 50% throttle it felt like I was going to hit fuel cut. I knew what it was right away....but still took forever to get home with the clamp off.

My car isnt a daily driver so should i still run the BPR6ES???

ah, found your problem here. Platinum is a no no for turbo's. They foul really quick and will cause the car to buck. The previous owner of my car had bosch platinum's in there and I quickly changed it to NGK BPR6EKN they're dual tips (stock). But BPR6ES is still good. Never settle for anything other than those, besides its only $12

 

[Mitsu725]

i bought the car with these plugs in NKG BR6ES not BPR what's the difference???

 

[Mitsu725]

Problem Solved Thank u very much.

 

[doodie]

so what did you do?

 

[Mitsu725]

i took the NGK BR6ES plugs out of the car that were looking REAL lean, i dont know y or what i should do to change that maybe adjust the air/Fuel screw if cars even have one, well i put in BPR6Es plugs in and problem solved. But curious on what the hell to do with it running lean.

 

[doodie]

lower your boost a little

 

[Mitsu725]

im only at 16 lbs

 

[mitch83]

on stock turbo?
mitch

 

[Mitsu725]

Yeah its stock but redone with bigger internals is what i was told when i bought it i dont know the whole run down of it but i fixed my hoses that had cracks and whatever and now i got 17 and holding.

 

[Mitsu725]

also when i changed the plugs in my car they were br6es i dont know what the difference is... and the gaps were freaking gapped at .35 almost .40 thats retarded.

 

[mitch83]

they told you that its a stock turbo with bigger internals hmmmmmm I dont know about that. what do you think guys.
mitch

Check the spark plugs Then check ALL the intercooler and turbing piping couplings and make sure there are NO holes in any of them, or that they're loss.

 

[WillWrk4Boost]

Just a side note. Before I saw that you fixed your problem I was going to ask you if you had a timing belt cover on and if your wires where strapped down.

I was riding with a fellow Dsm'er whoes wires were not totally strapped and one hit his belt. Effect: Missing, Loss of power almost as if it were a huge boost leak. (And sparks arch to whatever they can)

Just a heads up!

Good Luck
