Ans2k they look perfect, perfect colour, base rim is dry, no deposits. Center electrode isn't rounded, not sure what the gap was but the engine condition is perfect, properly running engine.

Yep,those are perfect.4 good examples of how a used plug should look.Good flame pattern,proper heat range,proper octane fuel used and no oil burning.

damn, thats good to know. because i was having problems while in neutral. when i coast to a stoplight in neutral, the rpms would remain at 1500 and a few seconds after i completely stopped, then they drop to 900-1000. but once i changed the spark plugs, my car did it alot less and was less noticeable.

non s2k related but my buddy changed his and said his plug was covered in oil...anyone know what that means?

my guess was that he should thoroughly check the injectors to see if there were any tears or holes in the rubber seals on the injectors...am i correct on this?
