But to my amazement, the plugs looked weird (I've never seen such thing in countless car's I've worked on) If someone can shed some light, would be much appreciated Trying to sort this stupid misfire @idle when HOT Below are some pictures I've taken from a potato phone Kenny hope links work Edited 04/01/18 12:03 PM by XR6TTUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be checking for detonation and getting the tune fixed ASAP before you lunch the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6TTUB New Member 20 Member For: 6y 7m 15d Posted 04/01/18 12:50 PM Author Share Posted 04/01/18 12:50 PM I never had cam errors murdok Never had any errors or codes whatsoever which makes it more baffling checked the timing chain and marks last weekend and everything is spot-on (even the coloured links lined up) still doesnt explain why timing at idle is at -10 to -11deg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
