Why is your spark plugs black after starting car just twice?

Whats difference between platinum and regular spark plugs?

Platinum spark plugs are better becacuse they last longer than plugs with traditionalcopper electrodes when they are worn out from electrode deterioration (which is the mostcommonreason for failure).They can last twice as long.Theymay notlast any longer if the plugs are fouledby depositsdue to other problems.

When you change the spark plugs in a 06 cobalt do you have change the wires?

Replacing Spark Plug High Voltage WiresNO, not necessarily. Spark plug wires only need to be replaced maybe once or twice in the life of a vehicle, IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PHYSICALLY DAMAGED OR ABUSED.Therefore, it is normally not necessary to replace the plug wires when replacing the plugs.

Why does your 03 883 harley not start. it started yesterday?

Just change the spark plugs. my 1980 evo did the same thing, even though the plugs were only a few months old. Has happened twice now. Both times the plugs were the cause.Even cleaning them was no good. Now have Champion plugs and so far so good.

Which spark plug: denso pk20tr11 or ngk bkr6ekpb11 ngk is almost twice the price of denso; both are listed in the manual so is it worth the difference?

Lifted from a post on ToyotaNation.Does yours use the OEM twin ground platinum electrode spark plugs? They are specifically used for the later model Gen 4s (Camry) with twin coil packs and distributorless. These use a waste spark ignition, therefore the plugs fire twice during a 4 stroke cycle. If you use a single ground electrode, it will severely shorten the life of the plug. e.g. 6,000rpm on your Camry engine will be like running 12,000rpm on another car, since the plug fires twice as often. You can also try double platinum plugs, i.e. plugs with a platinum chip also on the ground electrode. What happens in waste spark ignition is that 1 coil pack fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously, e.g. cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. So while one spark plug is firing normally, spark jumps from center electrode to ground electrode, the other spark plug is firing in reverse, i.e. from ground electrode to center electrode, therefore there is high wear on the ground electrode, this is where the platinum chip on the ground electrode gives longevity. Plugs like Denso Iridium SK20R11 and VK20 also have a platinum chip on the ground electrode. NGK Iridium IX and Denso IK20 don't. BOSCH R3 Platinum2 18-3770-8 spark plug is an alternative choice. Had replaced with these spark plugs for 2 years now, so far so good. By the way, the original stock Denso plugs were still very good after 100,000 miles (160,000kms). IMHO that they could go at least 200,000 miles before needing replacement.

Why do I Have to crank twice to get it started?

If you have to crank your vehicle twice to get it started, it could be due to several factors. Common issues include a weak battery that struggles to provide enough power, fuel delivery problems (like a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump), or ignition system faults (such as worn spark plugs). Additionally, if the engine is cold or has been sitting for a while, it may require extra effort to start. It's advisable to have these components checked to ensure reliable starting.

What could cause Sputtering in a 93 Ford Tempo?

I found out the hard way that mine was being caused by the ethenol in the gasoline. This was fouling the spark plugs. We replaced the plugs and problem solved. This new additive is causing similar problems in older cars. We now have to change our plugs twice as often. I live in Hawaii and can not find fuel without ethanol. Do you know what would cause this car to very suddenly start idiling very fast?

What type of gas do you use for a 1988 Mercedes Benz 300E?

You should use Premium. It should say that on the dash by the gas gauge. My 1990 300e does. Hope this helps. I have never had a problem with Regular gas instead of Premium in my 87 300E. As long as you have a good strong spark and clean fuel injectors. I would recommend "Bosch Platinum +2 Spark Plugs" they have twice the spark so you will feel the power increase after you replace your pugs.

Why while testing spark plugs on 1999 Chrysler Cirrus you take one plug wire out put back in and then the car dies and will not restart Changed all plugs wires and distributor cap but will not start?

For some reason when you take a plug wire off while the car is running it blows the control module built into the distributor. You will have to replace the whole distributor to fix. I have had this happen twice on my 96 Cirrus.

Can you summon landorus twice in Pokemon black?

No.

How to Change Spark Splugs?

Replacing the spark plugs in an automobile is a vital component of maintenance. It is a tedious task, but it is also a simple one, and in this current economic climate, many of us are looking for ways to save money. Here’s an overview of changing the spark plugs in your car. 1. Allot yourself 15 minutes per plug, but expect to take twice as long your first time out. If the car had been running, remember to wait 4 hours prior to changing the spark plugs. 2. Use the manual to locate your spark plugs, recognize how many you have, note the socket size, and note the gap, if applicable. Not all modern spark plugs require gapping. 3. Bring that information along with the make, model, and year to the local auto parts store. Remember to buy any necessary accessories: socket wrench, spark plug socket, socket extension, gap tool, etc. 4. Park the car in a convenient, covered location. Spark plugs get very hot very fast so be sure to wait the appropriate amount of time. Then, gather all of the tools and materials for convenience. 5. Locate the spark plugs and wires, and use masking tape to mark where the wires connect. Do not attempt to do this relying on memory. 6. Remove each spark plug by pulling on the caps so as not to break the spark plug wires. Don’t be afraid to apply some force to the caps. They usually require forceful twisting and pulling to come free. 7. Clean the entire area thoroughly. You can use a brush, but for best effect use an air compressor. It is quicker this way, and it does a much better job then you will by hand. 8. Use the wire-gauge gap tool to set the appropriate gap on each of the new spark plugs, if necessary. The gap is the space between the two electrodes jutting out from the spark plug. 9. Replace each spark plug by hand, finger tighten them, and then give it a 1/16 turn with the socket. Be very careful not to over-tighten them. 10. Use the masking tape as a guide to reconnect the wires to the spark plug. Remove and discard the tape as you do so. That’s all there is to it, and it is as easy as it sounds. As mentioned earlier, it is tedious, but once you get fast at it, it’s a good way along with doing your own oil change to save some money.
