might be a dumb question....

this might be a dumb question but if you run hotter plugs will that equate to a hotter engine? mines pushin 210 220 all the time....im a little worried....it never did that till i changed the plugs....but also i got hit and it punctured a hole in my radiator and now the overflow container stays at the fill hot line constantly....also i got some what it feels like is fuel starvation.....the accident messed up the electronics to the maf as well but it runs ok (after i siliconed it) until about 4500 to 5000 rmp where it feels like fuel starvation......another thing i pulled codes and i got 2 codes for te primary and secondary fuel circuits....any clue about this stuff???

JBIGBOOTSY · October 7th, 2007, 06:05 PM

plug ranges refer to the "self cleaning" temp of the plug. too cool and it fouls too hot and it can cause pre ignition, and engine damage(possibly). It has no effect on coolant temp.
