I am pretty sure they are getting fouled out. i am running colder coppers and i am pretty sure that all the traffic has fouled them. the car sputters at low RPM and sounds a but flooded.

apparently heavy traffic will cause plugs that run a stage colder will foul because they dont get hot enough to burn off the extra carbon that will build up in heavy traffic. Anyways, i just want to check em to see if that is the problem. if it isnt them it is time to check the valves.

Copper plugs should be changed every couple of thousand miles in a performance application, whether they be NGK or Autolite.

Yea, i read the article in DSPORT this month and it helped me to understand a lot about what i was dealing with. Its a great mag.

I just checked weather.com, it's supposed to rain all the way through the week and into next week. Enough is enough!
Hey quit your whining ...could be worse.You could have the same weather im having right now! And you remember what that heat was like right! I'd pray for rain right about now instead of dust storms
