possibly the ignition coils are fried....happened to me once before, that's why I don't think I'll ever use aftermarket plugs again

Problem solved!!!! My uncle went to check my plugs and found out that my number 1 cylinder spark plug was FOULED! The wire as well as the plug was covered in oil (he told me when the cylinder stopped running, backpressure builds up and oil leaks in...Doh!). After replacing the Densos with my original NGK stockers, my light is off and my car can V-tec to 9K again!!! Jyeah! Thanks to everyone who offered me advice, especially to Schatten (right on man, you mah dawg ). One thing is for sure. I will never EVER change out my plugs (maybe if my mileage sucks again, or maybe once that 75,000 miles rolls along). Thanks again everyone! Latez!

It was a coin thingy-majinky. I know, I know.... I used the wrong tool to gap. Shoot me (but not my car )! Anyways, when S2KDays comes to the Bay Area I'm sure there would be people there who would have equipment to gap and install a set of NEW Densos (nudge..nudge..wink..wink..Richard...). You better be there man. Latez!

Hmm, are they the Denso IK24 Iridium Plugs or IK22 ones that are causing the problem? Is anyone else that has IK24 or IK22 experienced similar related problems?

I just ordered Denso plugs and they come pre-gapped for the car at 0.044. Mingster, is this the gap you are using?

Mine came gapped closer than that and I tried them but was disappointed.. they do better once at the proper gap.

Check them when you get them.

Yes, that's the gap I'm using. Are you sure? Mine came at .035 gap, and I needed to change that.
