Hey Guys

My cars been running like shit over the last few days so i decided to have a look at the coils and sparkplugs. Whilst removing them i noticed that cylinder 4's spark plug had a rubber ring on the top of it. I checked the inlet of the coils and it didnt seem like there was any rubber rings inside of them. I attached a photo of it where does it go?

Cheers

yeah you both were right on it

cheers for that

I tapped up my coils around 3 months ago and wanted to silicone them up.. Yesterday i was driving to an appointment when my car was missfiring very very bad.. Sounded like a subaru.. So i got home took the coils out and siliconed them up.. didnt work so i took out the sparkplugs today to give them a clean, to my surprise there was alot of rust around the middle of it.. so i wire brushed them and lightly sprayed them with WD-40.. Now it sounds worse.. Would anyone have an idea to why it's doing this?

Would it be possible to borrow some standard or aftermarket s2 coils to see if its the coils failing?

cheers

yeah i know i need a set.. Nah its actually happening contstantly.. its as if one or two of the coils have died.. im using the ngk iridium BKR6EIX im pretty sure its gapped it .8..

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
