So I whipped my plugs out at lunchtime today (you were right, only took 20 minutes)... Photos below of the plugs, certainly weren't wet which is not what I was expecting.
Thanks both, very helpful. I know the car had always run rich... I had been in contact with my mapper to get it mapped as it was previously mapped by somebody I know nothing about... Hopefully the plugs are the reason it won't start. New plugs arrive tomorrow so will pop them in and see what happens.
Ooooo those plugs look narsty ! Thats 1 unhealthy running engine lol ( not in the sense of going bang ) but cant be great
These were my plugs removed the other month , running 1.4 bar
Im hoping its plugs that are the issue but ive never known sooted plugs to not start a car as such, run rough yes, not to start, hmmm but fingers crossed for you bud
So... put the new plugs in lunchtime today................ First time, fired straight up.
Do you think the plugs ended up in that way due to a poor map? or due to a mechanical component not working correctly?
Once you foul NGK plugs they very rarely recover, yours look like they have not been up to running temp & been idling for long periods, or starting & switching off while still on cold temp fuel correction.
