    Very useful video man, our mx5 got oil on sparkplugs, we thought bad piston ring at first but also notice leak around the cover. Your video cleared it up further. Going to change it soon and hopefully sort the issue! Changing a damn piston ring would not be fun!

    Bro I literally am having this problem rn thank you so much I was freaking out I just recently bought a 2012 audi a5 about a month ago and have been watching your videos since. I was driving home from work a couple days ago and my car started backfiring like crazy then shaking especially bad over 45 and when I was idling I started to panic cuz I thought it was a serious motor problem. Before that my check engine light would flash a couple times then go away. I didn't know what that meant at the time. Thank God this is a cheap fix I've had to put so much money into this car already (got fucked at the dealership) thanks so much for the videos I only have my muffler straight piped so far I'm going to get a catless downpipe and a cold air intake next then a tune then way down the road a hybrid turbo I'm thinking a out possibly starting a TH-cam channel on the car as well considering I can't barley find any videos on the 2012s I really want this car to last forever one of my dream cars

    I bought a 2009 Acura TL two years ago at 175k miles (roughly). It's now 223k miles and I figured it was time to replace them. They look okay. But they look like the engine is running HOT. Besides keeping an eye out on my coolant level, maintenance, etc. is either anything I need to look for? Consider? Be mindful of? Let me know! Great video! Take care and God bless everyone!!

    Why some people say oil will burn and leave and deposits on spark ..can you explain what situation you find a wet plug with oil instead or a plug fouled when oil burns

  • @8lakk5unshine
    @8lakk5unshine 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm looking at that perfect plug, and I doubt any DI cars have plugs that look like that anymore. My car has cold plugs with only a few thousand miles and they are orange from race gas, and there is a little gunk at the end from carbon build. I just bought a catch can, but I am considering WMI for colder intake temps and engine cleaning to avoid that carbon building death.

    My spark plugs have never been changed(i assume due to the way they looked and they were OEM) by the previous owners on my b8, when the engine was rebuilded at 150.000km for the oil consumption problem i saw that the middle part of the sparkplugs was all shattered and missing pieces of it, the cylinder walls where all scored and scratched because of that, the cylinder walls went to procces of boring and honing and i fitted +0.25mm bigger pistons.
    Moral of the story, change your spark plugs.

    Great vid Bruce! I have a question, so i got FBO stage 2 2.0 a5 etc. on higher gears the car is stuttering... it happened before and i changed the sparks and coil pack and the problem is gone. That was a couple months ago. Now it is happening again! After i pushed hard on the freeway.
    What do you think is faulty? I read for codes nothing popped up

    • @brucecustommotors
      @brucecustommotors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Spark plug gap needs to be smaller it seems the boost is blowing out the spark when you dig in to it, try that some recommend.024, but I’m at 0.26, and factory is 0.29

    • @hollidaydarwin
      @hollidaydarwin 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      More gap adds slightly more power (.065 compared to .042). Compressed air on a spark plug tester shows that it won't blow out the spark.

    Yooo I’ve basically copied your entire setup 😊with a few personal touches of course. But question what happened are you running with your K04? I’m RHF5 and I’m basically blowing out my spark even at 24 I’m thinking of 22/21 as I’m mot meeting my req boost of 33psi. It will get up to 27 and flutter. I was gapped at 28 but after the IM install and tune it was too wide and barely drivable. Any thoughts?

    1 Question
    The very last one that u said normal plug look like, I saw a very tiny oil on the plug thread only. Is it normar ?
    My spark plug has a bit oil glase on the thread only. Is it normal? Or it should be 100 % dry ??
    Please answer
