I just swapped my plugs, and put NGK TR6s back in. And the car is running rough now? The gap should stay at .035 correct? Also, the plug wires appear to be stock. What wires would you recommend with a H/C/Nitrous car?

Any advice is appreciated.

Was it running rough before you changed the plugs? Maybe a loose plug boot.

I use MSD plug wires also.I was also wondering if your car was running rough
before the new set of plugs?

anything but msd
worst plug wires Ive ever had

sry to hijack you thread,but i have a similar issue. just put BR7EF's and it runs fine no detonation or misfire codes but it bucks at idle in gear at a light? would this be sympotms of a bad wire since it runs fine at speed i can feel a little bit on the freeway at a constant speed. it was fine with stock plugs

im thinking its a wire, any bad plug ive ever had has misfired bad enough to throw a code.

It wasn't doing this before, but I did notice horrible mpg... (~8mpg). So I decied to change the plugs/clean the air filter/etc. I don't drive the car much, but I drove it about 10miles earlier, and noticed that it seems to only sputter once the car hits ~2500 RPMs.

Also, I checked to see if any of the wires were loose etc. I didn't notice any issues with that.

you said that you cleaned the filter, maybe oil got on your MAF

I haven't had any problems with my MSD wires. One more thing would be to change the fuel filter if its old. I'm saying thats your problem but the $10 filter isn't hard to change, and may help.

I like my Taylor Race Pro 10.4mm wires. Just wasn't interested in the MSD's at the time. Good wire, just not the same quality imo. I picked them up from Lethal P. in stock. I have several stock plug wires left over from customer installs if your find yours got fubar'ed.

sounds like u need to clean your maf, when my brothers maf on his ws6 was dirty/bad it bucked a lot at 2500rpms also. wouldnt hurt to start there.

well i might of gottin some form a bad batch but
the msd wires i had after the first time installing them, they lost there click so putting them back on was a p.i.t.a every time
and to add to that i also had about 4 break over a years time

and well these are things i would expect from some autozone wires but not from something that are supposed to be 'high quality' and cost 70+ dollars

btw i now have stock replacement wires from a local parts store(cost 25 bucks) and they have none of the issues above and i honestly doubt that they cost me anything in horsepower

i've been thru 2 sets of msds, i have a set of mti wires they are perfect for headers

I changed plugs one time and cracked the porcelain on one plug. Did the same thing you are describing. Had to find which plug it was, but then changed it and good as new!

Alright, well I checked my fuel pressure at the schraeder valve. It showed 60psi when the key was in the on position, then would drop down to ~51psi. Once I turned it on it was at 60psi, and then under acceleration it dropped down a few psi.

If I put too much oil on the air filter when I cleaned it a couple weeks ago, what all would that mess up? I'm about to go outside and clean the MAF.

If the MAF doesnt fix my problem, a buddy and I are going to go back through and look at all the plugs.

Also, I have stock wires. I know someone selling a new set of MSDs 8.5mm wires for $45. Should I snag those up?
