Since we've been back on the road, i've noticed a change with another of my cars various "quirks". previously, shes burned a little oil on the dr side 1 and 4 cyls, which would gunk up the plugs every few months, maybe every month and a half. Not a tremendous deal.
Since shes been back on the road, (couple of months) that rate has vastly increased, to maybe every 2 weeks. the plugs coming out dont look nearly as bad, presumably because they havent been in there as long, except one that showed some slight flaking damage on the resistor (knock).
Not sure what to make of it. Nothing has changed as far as the set up, and its always those 2 cyls, change plugs and poof. Could a weak spark maybe be adding to the situation? but if so why arent the plugs as nasty as previously?
I just need to hit the lotto so I can stop "band-aiding" stuff and rebuild it all to spec...or better:grin:
Any thoughts are appreciated,
J
*edit* and FWIW, you can feel it coming on, the engine sounds gradually rougher, and the vibrations, particularly though the shifter change before she actually fouls. this last time, I spotted it a full day before the motor started its shennanigans, and had a socket and spares waiting, but I dont want to make it a habit
