Turbo Probe w/misfire

Was goin thru some old vids, found a vid of me trying to figure out why the car had a missfire. The miss was so bad sometimes the car would cut off......Turned out to be bad spark plugs........

Anyway just wanted to share the video of the miss maybe some else had a similar problem. Besides i miss(no pun intended) driving the car. Should be back on the road soon tho.

The vid

I had days like that man...

I fouled the plug in cylinder 6 once a week due to bad rings, I kept spares in the glove box

nothing like the snap crackle pop sound of a boosted kl running like ass haha

bring that thing up here when it's back on the road man, put my vette to shame at the track on a friday night this spring!

Yea no doubt Draper, the popping of a boosted kl is pretty funny. I will be coming up there, me with the probe and Joe will show up with the Subie. I dont know if i will put your vette shame, but i will make sure i have it on video.

I have a similar sounding problem on mine but only after the car gets hot, I run n.a. ze with msd 6al and blaster 2 coil using ze disty. The problem seems to be heat related, can that still be a bad plug(I run iridium ngk's)???

You sir are correct haha

I could rebuild my car on the side of the road out of my glovebox..

spark plugs were my most common issue, followed by cut crank sensor wires, and then crapped out MAF's....

But now....I drive the vette 16 hours from home without even a spare tire

I love it, but I miss the old days on a regular basis.
