ok , there was a sparkplug yesterday that I had troulble taking off , so I decided not to worry about it and look at it today . I took it off and its coated with gas on the end .I looked at it again , hmm does not look properly gapped either , i checked it , it was gapped at like 35 , took another plug out , incorrectly gapped .THE SHOP GAPPED THEM WRONG !!! This plugs were coated with gas and the car had not even been running , i ran it yesterday for like a few seconds and thats it .It got dark so I did not get a chance to check the other side.I know the plugs I put in yesterday are gapped right though at 45 ..thanx guys , Wayne

 

come on guys , Im like stressin here so bad over my car , My plugs are all coated with gas at the end .the insulators do not have gas on them . I don't remember spark plugs being like this before I changed them along time ago .Is this normal or they not supposed to be coated with gas .It looks like there coated with oil , but if you smell it , its gas . ..Thanx guys , Wayne

 

HELP GUYS ..im REALLY stressin

 

you said that the engine was still under warrenty right? If so, take it back to the shop, & ask to speak to the manager & explain what is going on. If not satisfied, contact the owner. If still getting no love, research & take to new place, & file a complaint with the better business bureu & local chamber of commerce.

just regap your plugs. if the gap is to small you wont get a hot enough spark which wont burn all the gas and you will have wet plugs. Simple solution, take a deep breath and set about regapping the plugs.

 

Thought I would give you guys an update on how the camaro is running . The detonation ( nuts and bolts in a coffee can) noise , I dont hear anymore . I still have to get the thermastat gasket changed cus its leaking , but at the same time I will tell them to slip in my 180 . I cant fix this myself because the bolts are stuck in the manifold. I plan on getting my fuel injectors cleaned or putting new ones in there over the hollidays , the shop told me it would be 257 or 275 to get them cleaned . How are are these to clean guys ? Anyone ever done it ? Wayne

 

257 is a complete rip off, unless that includes labor... in which case... it's still a complete rip off...

Take you injectors out yourself (get a junkyard set to hold you over if need be) and send them to Rich J. at cruzinperformance.com ... he'll clean them, bench them, and flowmatch them for $10 an injector... if you have one that is way outta wack, it's $5 to swap one in that will complete the set... all balanced to flow within 1-2% of each other. Great customer service, and a great overall feeling, can't beat the price either.

once you get 'em back... put them back in youself, reset the computer and enjoy some fun... all for around $65 (that includes shipping)

Hope that helps you out.
