So, the turbo lancer is sputtering and choking at 2500 rpm or less...but this time, i pulled the plugs and boots...and took pictures! what wisdom does the forum hold?

Plugs are gapped to .30 as instructed by rrm. They are the correct heat range too. I checked for boost leaks and exhuast leaks, and couldn't find any.




The boots are as is, i did not wipe them or touch the end part
Also, the plugs are about 1 1/2 weeks old

 

come on guys, i know someone out there knows something
!

 

Looking at the plug I would say lean, or too hot. I don't really like the decoloration of the ground

 

Is the engine holding an idle at all? i dont know if you can tell all that much from just the plugs.

 

Plugs look fine. What you should really be looking for is how does the electrode look like. Is nice and sharp or smooth, melted. And also show the whole plug with the ceramic white stuff on the bottom too.

 

the car doesnt idle for crap. i upped the idle to 1700 just so i can drive

i'll get more pics at a later time
