I just did a smoke test on my EGR to figure out whether the gasket would need to be replaced, or whether the EGR needs to be cleaned/replaced. I...
I can hear the noise just by having the hood open. It could just be normal noise but it’s only on 1 cylinder(or atleast very loud at 1 cylinder)....
It’s like a little spark ticking sound, I don’t know if it’s normal, but the sound is only being made at or around cylinder 1.
I put the new plug back in. Here’s the sound I was talking about earlier.
Sorry I thought I included the coil packs but I didn’t. The spark plug that was burnt was a new gapped one and it was making that sound. I think...
Yeah, I’m using OEM coil packs I believe, but the sound follows the cylinder, not the spark plugs or coil packs. But that’s all i’ve tried so far,...
I changed the sparkplugs today, I kinda messed up? Basically I put in the new sparkplugs and the car started running, but I noticed cylinder 1...
Hmmm okay good to know. It is my DD so maybe ill look on ebay for some OEM ones. The mechanic said that the EGR will HAVE to be replaced, so im...
Is it recommended to get OEM EGR? Or can I get an aftermarket one- something rock auto says works on my car?
I’ll get those spark plugs in soon, thank you!
It’s the Bosch double iridium 96302 spark plugs
So apparently, the previous owner says that the spark plugs are gapped at 0.054. Apparrently thats what the OE-reccomended gaps are for this spark...
Sounds good. I will work towards my EGR for now in that case. Thank you for the input!
Is it just the lean condition causing the misfires then? My mechanic said it needs colder plugs since it misfires under boost/ heavy throttle
Nevermind I found some stock at a store near me. Ill update how the car works once I put the plugs in
I just saw your post on spark plugs. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to these things. Would this be the NGK iridium 1 step colder spark...
Update: Cleaned the BOV and lubed it up. There was a O-ring missing at the top of it, replaced it and the leak is fixed. Fuel trims are still bad...
I’m planning on lubing and cleaning up the BOV insides in a few days, I’ll update on what it does
The Turbo inlet leak was fixed already. The EGR, and the VVT actuator to valve cover leak have not been fixed yet since they’re relatively minor....
Hello, My engine has been running lean with high fuel trims, the LTFT being at 20.3 and STFT being atleast 15% or greater on idle. I looked over...
