Hi all, it's been a while, but I never notice it till this winter.

I had my spark plug recalled, and I went and changed it at my dealer about 4 months ago.

I notice a problem ever since after the spark plug change. If I start from cold and stall, I have trouble starting the engine again right away. That is, every morning if I stall right after starting, the car won't start.

At first, I thought it happened because it was winter and it's cold, but now it appears it's not because of the weather.

Does anyone have similiar problem?

I have to give it about 3 mintues before I can start again!

 

pull the plugs, and inspect their condition, as well as their gapping.

Also, using a torque wrench (as suggested by xviper in another thread), slowly and gingerly tighten each plug until they begin to move so you can see how they are torqued, and if they have backed themselves out at all since they were replaced.

And if you havent already, obviously tell the dealer that changed your plugs what's going on.
