engine problems, again.

[David Williamson]

have you messed around with the order of the wires? I was looking thru the photobucket pictures and they look like they were switched in different pictures
also did you plug this thermal vacuum switch port? it could be causing your vacuum leak

I Don't think I messed with them. But yeah I plugged all three ports from here off.

I've had a couple of bad plugs that made the car run like crap, backfiring and missing, and I had a hard time figuring it out, changing the plugs was the last resort but that's what it was

Should I change out plugs and wires or just spark plugs?
Because now its backfiring and smoking and missing.

I don't want to suggest anything cause I'm just saying what problems I have had..the plugs I use are the cheapy delco so it wouldn't be much to switch them out and at least you know it's not the plugs...what is smoking now

Yeah i understand, and its not bad to know you got new plugs and wires, so I mean I might do that just in case.
But its the exhaust smoking and pretty bad, I got a video of it smoking.
Its like a dark gray almost black.

Re: engine problems, again. update!

I took off all 8 of my spark plugs, they were all really dirty and had a thick gunk caked ontop.
Didn't know if it were bad or nothing at all.
A guy told me it could be oil fouled?

Didn't know if they need to be changed or if their fine?

 

[pontiacgp]

check the plugs with this chart....check for cracks in the ceramic, a crack can cause a plug to short out

 

[David Williamson]

I would have to say oil fouled but a little more gunk on them.
Not as liquid, a little more build up.
