G'day guys,
Im up in Echuca at the moment and went for a drive last night. My car started making bad noises and dropped 3 cylinders. 2 of the spark plug's ends are broken off and the ceramic bits are also shattered. I put in some new spark plugs and it sounds the same. I hope the engines not stuffed. I need to get onto Dennis from P.E.T urgently to see if its ok to drive home. Please pm me if you can help me get on to him. Also does anyone know what the hell has happened? All plugs were fairly blackish? air/fuel ratio is around 10.5 when goin hard. Boost is 24psi and 317rwkw. I don't think this should have happened.
maybe plugs not cold enuff ??? if the caramic bits fell out bro get them out!!! a tiny hose hooked up to a vacuum cleaner will suck them fcukers out
if theres ceramic bits in the motor now DONT drive it
They didn't fall off. They cracked off with the end of the plugs as well! Maybe detonation? I really dont know. They wouldve got blown out the exhaust valves and out through the turbo. Just dont know how much damage its caused and I really dont want to know either. Bloody cars hey!
must have been running very lean and hot , to break the ceramic n electrode etc off , strongly suggest not driving it.
all the best with it mate , hope no dramas arrise
