Yes. It happened to me when I used the wrong spark plugs on my celica. If you're using the correct spark plugs and its still running lean it could be an in take leak, faulty maf sensor, dirty fuel filter or injectors.

Why would the spark plugs on a 350 Chevy engine be glowing every time the cylinder fires when the engine is running and how can the problem be fixed?

Replace the spark plug wires. Also, be on the lookout for something that could cause a lean condition such as vacuum leaks and fuel flow restrictions.


What is system to lean?

are you having a check engine light stating "engine too lean?" if so replace all o2 sensors.change spark plugs and especially air filter.rest code and see what happens.


Can the intake manifold leak cause the spark plugs to misfire on my 2001 Ford Crown Victoria?

Yes, a leak in the intake manifold can cause spark plugs to misfire in your 2001 Ford Crown Victoria. When the intake manifold leaks, it can allow unmetered air to enter the engine, leading to a lean fuel mixture. This imbalance can disrupt the combustion process, resulting in misfires. Additionally, a vacuum leak can cause rough idling and poor engine performance, further contributing to spark plug issues.


Why is my 2000 Chevy venture check engine light blinking?

When the engine is not firing on all cyclinders or has bad spark or lean or rich fuel it will cause the light to flash. Mine did this and I had a loss of power. I replaced the spark plugs and wires. It stopped the light and I got my power back as well as got more mpg.

How can you tell if an engine is running lean or rich?

Too rich and you will get black smoke from exhaust. You can also read the spark plugs. way too rich and the engine will bog down or flood out in extreme situations. If it's running too lean, the rpms will get erratic.

How do you check if your injectors are clogged?

A good way of checking how your car is running is by checking the spark plugs, If the injectors on a petrol engine are clogged then the engine will be running extra lean. The spark plug may look like the secomnd example on this sit http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_support/spark_plugs/faqs/faqread.asp

Will not rejetting the carbohydrates on a Honda vt600 after installing aftermarket exhaust cause the spark plugs to foul?

An engine needs 13 parts air to one part fuel to run at peak efficiency. If there is too much air, the engine will run hot (lean condition). If there is too much fuel the engine will run cooler (rich condition), but not consume all the fuel, sending it out the exhaust. By adding aftermarket exhaust, you are allowing the engine to breathe better and get air more readily. Re-jetting the carbs with bigger needles will allow more fuel into the combustion chamber to offset the increase in air. More air + more fuel = more power. Not re-jetting will cause an excessively lean condition (too much air), which will cause the engine to run hotter (if it will run at all). You run the risk of burning valves which is very bad. This is the opposite of fouling spark plugs, which happens when the engine is too rich.


What would cause a spark plug electrode to burn?

Running too lean
