^^ Haha no kidding!!!! haha

 

Oh. Crap.

I randomly browsed to this thread. Mine are also backwards. Which might explain why my car is having some serious trouble starting and idling. I'll find out shortly.

Clicking on random threads FTW!

^ it WILL explain your problem lol. idk how you guys accidently put them back on wrong haha

 

I just got a set of iridium yesterday and installed them without gaping them, My car started just fine.

 

^

you sir aren't very smart. they will more than likely foul out early. its your car.

 

Yep i guess so, but it works for me.

 

A lesson learned, nearly every Dual Cam motor I have ever worked on with a waste spark ignition was 1/4 and 2/3.

 

lmao i dont understand why you didnt just check the coil packs first before making a thread. Pull the coil packs as a PAIR next time or hell take a picture of them b4 you take them apart..

 

i put a new set in recently and they came pre gapped around .020-.021.. which is fine.

I run mine at .022 or .023

 

I always take a few pictures before I take things apart unless I have prior experience with the task on hand. I can't tell you how many times this simple rule of snapping a few pictures before starting on working on something (and sometimes during the process ... if it is a lenghtly process) has saved my rear end!

All in all, I'm glad it was a painless and easy fix. Cheers.

 

^ I would take pictures too haha... I have a problem not remember things. Short-term memory ftl!

 

No need for tqing them..

 

My oem replacements were pre gapped around .026. I thought this was fine for a evo IX?

 

doesnt sound right.. i would try putting the old ones back in and giving it a shot

 

He already fixed the issue.
