Default Plug pictures

again, i know its a ****ty picture but look behind the plugs...purty Just trying to get a quick picture of the difference

This is a new plug and one of mine that fouled out. appears that it was really rich but the wideband said other wise. Turns out a cam sensor broke off so i assume the car kept trying to correct the A/F and timing without a true reading.

Your camera should have a mode for 'close-ups' or something like that. You need to use it in order to get the correct focus.

Edit: Glad you figured out what was wrong with the car

Macro mode. It's usually depicted by a picture of a flower.

That plug looks totally different that the one you showed the other day. You know, the one that looked like it was firing a nuclear reactor?

That's good Dex. So when are you going to be tuned with some track results and a power curve for us to look at?

Well tonight i find the vacuum leak and reset the learned fuel tables. Got the car to idle but i forgot to reset everything so it still sits at 16 AF.

I'll put a few miles on it then i'll have it tuned. Hopefully get it done by next week but I may just tune it for 7lbs then for 18lbs in another week. I want the rings to sit a little better for that amount of boost
