What's up forum? So, I was installing my new NGK stocker plugs and when I popped the old ones out they looked terrible. In fact, they looked terribly like the wrong god d*mn plugs! There were some NGK IFR6T-11's in the engine. I didn't even notice at first until my wife noticed they were longer than the other ones.

I looked them up and they are like for Chryslers and sh*t. So everybody out there check them plugs before you roll away in your new evo ix's you just never know.

Also, the idle is now hovering just below 1000 RPMs is that kosher? The car initially was idling at 1.5K and often rev'd to 2K all by itself.

 

Whoever changed them before you had the car is just an idiot

 

your idle is good under 1000 rpms,mine sits about 700ish to 800ish, 1.5 to 2k could have been due to the wrong plugs.

 

LOL

How long have you personally been driving on the wrong plugs?

 

DJ 2013, honestly, it has been for a good amount of miles. I'll pm you if you really want to know...... the rest of the guys are watching lol.

 

My buddy bought his IX a few months ago. Now it's up at ER getting a engine rebuild because the previous owner put some cheap autolite plugs in. The electrode broke and chewed up a cylinder.

Yeah. Check everything!

 

I'm probably picking up an Evo in the next month so will remember this thread.
Thanks for letting us know...no offence but it is a funny story....plugs for a Chrysler....jeeze

 

Edit

 

I sure hope you don't actually believe that

 

Mitsu made the turbo but I think that is as far as that relationship went.
