#7 plug is white with some silver blots on it...
#7 plug is white with some silver blots on it... All other plugs were a nice reddish-brown. #7 was almost stark white with some silve blots on it.....sounds like a lean condition; and detonation to me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> . What would cause ONE cylinder to be lean?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . A bad injector? How would I check the injectors?

I am going to go check all of the connections around the #7 injector. I may end up taking the car to get some diagnostics run to see if I may need to replace that injector. What a bummer <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> .

Re: #7 plug is white with some silver blots on it... I would say the injector is bad. You might want to run a compression check on that cylinder as well. Silver specs is BAD! Maybe you caught it before you did some serious damage. You may have to pull the motor. Good excuse to stroke it out.

The thing is, I have NEVER actually heard any detonation. The proof is there though. I REALLY hope I DON'T have to pull the motor and replace anything. I don't have that kind of money; and there are still 3 years of payments on the Firebird; and 5 years of payments on the Yukon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Maybe I should just get a replacement fuel injector; make the switch and hope for the best. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> God I am upset. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: #7 plug is white with some silver blots on it... I have decided to "Dry Dock" the car untill I can get at least one injector and a compression test on at least #1, #3, #5, and #7.
Wish me luck.
