I'm confused... is the car acting funny or what?

96GtGoodz · November 22nd, 2007, 08:04 PM

well at idle the rpm's are a little bit lower but it feels good and sounds good

sorrowfulkiller · November 23rd, 2007, 10:58 PM

Well it's probably okay then... they are probably just firing enough now where the car doesn't have to up the rpms via the ecu to keep the car running... I wouldn't worry about it.

Although either way I'd change out the rest of the spark plugs. I know it's a bitch but what I do is take a spark plug socket and a 5/8 deep socket... use the spark plug one to take them out and use the 5/8th to put them in, saves time since you don't get the sockets stuck in there... oh and make sure you have atleast a 6 inch extension

If you think changing the spark plugs are a pain, then you better have alot of money to do the mods you mentioned in another post. Because if the plugs whip your ass that easy, your not cutout for doing the rest of the mods. Try changing the spark plugs on a 5.4 3v in an expedition, with rear HVAC and COP's!
