eclipse5302 Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 "These are light-brownish deposits that are encrusted to the ground and/or center electrode(s). This situation is caused by oil and/or fuel additives. This condition can cause misfires." "The cure for this is to verify worn valve guides or valve seals, not using fuel additives, or you might even try changing fuel brands. By the way, a hotter plug is what most people try to fix this problem. You need to first understand that the plug is NOT typically the problem." Got that from http://www.centuryperformance.com. Maybe that will help. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 I had the book once before and my ex threw it away. When I bought a new one I noticed it actually had a little Turbo info in it. The other one didn't. I also have one for my '87 Buick Somerset.
