skyline_freak_r33 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
heslo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Probably just the insert of a spark plug removal socket, nothing to worry about 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/#findComment-5689323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaz Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 looks like the rubber spacer that is in some spark plug sockets Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/#findComment-5689324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline_freak_r33 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/#findComment-5689383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazza24 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Are you already running a gap of 0.8mm on your spark plugs or 1.1mm, and how old are they, what type? (eg. copper) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/#findComment-5689658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyRS4 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 +1 on it being the coilpacks. Borrow a set to confirm this. Or just buy a set of Yellow Jackets or Splitfires anyway.

Krishy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 With Ruby on this one. Sounds very much like a coil pack issue. Is this happening when your on boost?

PM-R33 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If it has no digits on the end it is a 0.8 gap. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/355299-changing-spark-plugs/#findComment-5690210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
