"my car won't start"
It finally did but these were my second suspect after fuel. She missed a very important appointment today due to lack of maintenance.

71K and I don't think the dealer even changed these at the 30K service as required. Two plugs had a .065+ gapina. No wonder it ran like shit.
Didn't take pics, but stock photo of a new plug/electrode:

Got a bottle of Techron for it too. She never listens to me about filling her tank. Always running around with 1/4 or less. Hard on the pump, more condensation, etc.
Damn thing also needs plug seals and valve cover gasket. Oil on plug is from pulling it out of an oil soaked tube.
Driver side plugs were damn near rusted in. I don't think the factory puts anti-seize on these things (or if the dealer changed them at 30K they most certainly did not.)
Wow yeah that is a hell of a lot of gap! Those electrodes are worn down literally to the nubs!
HEI systems are up in that .60 gap when new...not the .35's and .45's we knew in older cars as much anymore. Ain't a bad idea to change plugs in your daily drivers every 50K or so, and wires sometime before 100K....IMO. Coolant changes are important as well unless you periodically check the chemical levels in your coolant system, especially if you're not using any additives to stabilize it. Shitty coolant eats aluminum like sugar eats teeth....it takes a while, but it's really bad after it's done it's damage.
Newer cars don't even have spark plug wires anymore. They're all coil on plug nowadays.
Run double platnium plugs if you can. I changed the plugs on my 05 Suburban and the old plug gaps were only a couple thou over stock. Honestly it was probably a waste of money to replace them at 85k.
I was talking about gap specs for cars that still DO have plug wires.Quote:

Obc, no I'm not discouraging regular maintanace. In fact I have been actually proactive with my cars.
Just wanted to share my experiance with double platinums vs single platinum plugs. In my opinion worth rhe extra dough.
I shouldn't post while sleepy.
What's up with all these super cheap guns in the trading post?!
I feel like a diabetic in a candy store.
