Spark plug gap

flattusmaximus78 · June 26th, 2007, 09:43 PM

I just installed 764 auto line copper plugs. What is the proper gap... cause these are at 54 and the it's not running right. Motor shakes to much and idles ruff.

flattusmaximus78 · June 26th, 2007, 09:44 PM

I have them for nitrous btw.

flattusmaximus78 · June 26th, 2007, 09:50 PM

and does anyone have the 123 456 layout and what goes to what to make sure I have this right.

The passenger side head starts at 1 2 3... 3 being closes to the winsheild right... Then on the drivers side head its 4 5 6... being closest to the drivers side of the winsheild

Well I got duralast wires. The idle is at like 900-950 and a tad bumpy.

When I put it in drive it start to squeak and gets real ruff. but it drops down to the normal idle then bounces a tad. Seems like it might be comming from the passenger head area.

have a friend of yours get in your car and tell him to rev it while you uncap wire by wire 1 at a time from your coil and check it the spark is strong ....

also your maf might be dirty and hence why u idle at 900 when it should at 700 ... run some seafoam

Well I mean would the maf sensor really have something to do with the new plugs. It ran fine prior to the new plugs.

BlackStang · June 26th, 2007, 10:24 PM

ok then its not your maf .... my maf got dirty when i passed through a construction zone so i cleaned it and idled perfect ... ok so your maf is ok .....

did u plug all the plugs in correctly ... once i thought i plugged it in and it was a bit loose ..... and dont worry if u misplaced a wire that stang would be backfire like a lil biatchhhhh

flattusmaximus78 · June 26th, 2007, 10:38 PM

We did that few times... It just idles down normal in park but it's just ruff as shit and goes up and down a 100 or so rpms and my check engine light is flashing.

El_Cangri · June 26th, 2007, 10:42 PM

strange...

go to autozone and get the code readed.. also did u disconect the battery while changing plugs? or w.e

chances are your not in miami ... but if you are i can run a computer for ya for free

are the plugs made for your stang?? and i think it sounds like a gap issue

flattusmaximus78 · June 26th, 2007, 10:46 PM

I might have figured out my problem... the lady that I got them from at autozone I asked for ngk autoline and she gave me autolite saying these were the ones for my car. Either I will return to stock plugs or try to find autoline.

do that othwerwise upgrade your wires ..... they go bad after a while and dont deliver that strong spark

another reason for not having women give auto parts

itschristorres8 · June 27th, 2007, 12:14 AM

im gonna use 764s soon...
did you use antizeez with the plugs?
advance auto parts sells a spark plug wire tester

764's are correct for one heat range colder then stock
765s are stock

itschristorres8 · June 27th, 2007, 12:15 AM

Also one more thing
do you have it gapped at .054 or .54..that would be bad
