So I'm new to this car and it starts in the garage dandy..

Bring it outside where is like 30 and let it sit...it won't start...

Take the plugs out and clean them..put them back in...Starts...Not easily

Plugs are 3 days old, NKG Bpr8es's...gapped at .22 per Sean Ivey.


Any Ideas? Specs of car are in sig..This is also why I posted in Advanced. Car is a little bit over stock :-)

 

plugs should be gapped at 25-28 . i think owners manual says 24-28 i would regap them

 

I apprecaite you attempt to help me, But please re-read my post.

Sean Ivey (one of the great evo tuners) tuned the car and said put them at .22

 

I would call sean and ask him what he thinks.

 

I did that, but I'm in Mass, he's in NJ. For him to acurately diagnose it, he'd have to see it. So that' means another 4.5hr ride each way.

I'm here hoping that someone else has had this problem and or solution...And I'm trying to educate myself a bit on Evos, that way When i actually do get it over to Sean I don't look like a dumby..

Plus Seans a busy man and I hate to bother him with something that seams easy like this....But maybe that'll be the only answer.

But i figured..Couldn't hurt to ask.

 

Is your battery a mini?

You could try to gap the plugs to .024 and see if it helps. If that doesn't help gap them back to .022.

Does the car crank the same as it does when inside? Or does it crank slower?

cold start thread...

 

No it's a full size red top optima, don't know how old it is...I should test it.

I'd try .24 but with big boost i'd be kinda afraid, maybe a better ignition system?

 

LOL call me tommorow we can go through a few things.

Hey Sean, I didn't want to bother you...I work at a shop too and know how it is...so I was trying to do what I could before I bothered you.

Even though I know you'd do whatever, which I really Appreciate as always...
But there is only one of you and 1000 people with problems .

I'll give you a call when I get the car back from the Body shop, The Hood had an Uttt Ohhh on the way back from N.J.

Thanks again!
