FINALLY My cobra runs like a cobra should

for the past 2 months i've been having trouble getting my car to quit lagging and actually haul ***. well i narowed it down to ignition or fuel delivers, so i picked up 8 new spark plugs and put those bad boys in last night. Now my cobra runs like it should. Apparently i had a bad plug the wasn't firing correctly, but it wasn't throwing a code. This shouldn't have taken 2 months to find, but the guy i bought the car from told me he put new plugs in so i didn't think that would be it. Life is good.

When working on your car, 99% of the time it's the simple and obvious stuff. It's so cheap to buy spark plugs, it would have been one of the first things I tried [8D]

Well....in searching for the problem, you have learned a lot more about your car

Glad you figured it out.

RE: FINALLY My cobra runs like a cobra should

Same thing happened to me I just bought a brand new set of plugs when I finally got my engine back together and then it starts missing and I couldn't figure it out and it ended up being a factory messed up broken plug. Then it ran great. I have no idea how I didn't notice it when i put them in
