This car has been BORING! We just drive the hell out of it
I've been busy with so many other things, that I have not focused on this car all that much. Until as of recent. I have what looks to be a reoccurring issue with spark plugs (twice). I thought I'd throw it out there to see if any of you may have an opinion or experience that is similar.
I rolled the car out of winter storage this year, and proceeded to go for a ride. The engine developed a miss to it. I figured it out to be the #2 cylinder (running much cooler). I pulled the plug, and that looked good. Checked for spark on that cylinder, all good. Took a compression test, all good. Swapped injectors......no change. I then shot gunned a spark plug at it, voila! All good now.
Then yesterday, just driving along, and it starts to miss again. I got the car back to my shop, the number 8 cylinder is running cool. I then proceeded to change out all of the plugs, and we're good again.
In the pic, I am pointing at the #8 plug. Admittedly, the #2 looked much the same when I pulled it. in both instances, the plus seems to be breaking down under load. So, could I just have gotten a load of bad fuel? Are these plugs known to be that sensitive?
The remaining plugs (except #2) have just about 6k miles on them
And a pic of the car as it sits today
I am not trying to overthink this. Let me know if I am?
In advance, thanks for your thoughts.
