Spark Plugs

[Captain Starlet]

I recently removed the spark plugs from my car and the ceramic center was bright red. I understand this means that the car is running to rich a feul mix. How can i fix this problem would a feul regulator help. Also the car is really sluggish would this be because of the mix.

Black is rich. Red or white tends to be lean.

ditto.

Sounds like your putting loads of octane booster in it.

 

[Captain Starlet]

Yea i put 20 point octane booster. The carriage way is a REAL road i think the problem is you cant handle the power of the super 1400 cup car ibiza. lol. Is your car a diesel Graham

No hassles. 2-stroke is a totally different kettle of fish.

 

[stevieturbo]

Not really, but unless you are stopping the engine at the point you want to guess the mixture, trying to read plugs is almost a waste of time.

As already stated, the red colour is from the octane booster.

the carriage way is a real road my hole, if it were cars would be invented without steering wheels and would all be automatics, try racing a proper road like ora mountain, then tell me a carriage way is a proper road

 

[jason Dturbo]
