Yes stock plugs and gapping seems to get finicky when you increase the boost. JB4 stage 1 ran fine. Full JB4, bcm, intakes @ 18psi equaled misfires. Now running 21 psi , so far it's been a beast but I can tell I will need meth or keep mixing e85 as trims are near max. Stock interval is ~20k

Yeah, thinking BM3 to change the fueling to achieve this. But you are the guru here, I actually have many questions for you especially around meth and the theory of potential failure of the rear cylinders. Mind if I PM you?

Do you have to remove the metal bracket (looks like sway bar bracket that holds ecu's) to get better access? or just move the ECU's aside along with the black plastic fame that holds them? What torx bit # you use to remove metal brace? and if we dont remove brace any tricks to completing the plugs changes?

It's really access to pull the coils out. The plugs themselves are easy with a long extension and magnetic plug socket. |

Changed plugs and car now won't start, please help.
We changed the plugs to the NGK 97506, gapped to .020, put them all back and now the car won't start. It turns but won't ignite. Any ideas what the heck happened?
Thank you |

Just did my plugs/coils over the weekend. I had to refit a few of the coils due to a rough idle initially. Seems they are finicky.....has anybody else had this issue?
Runs fine now but had me a bit worried |

I've been searching but haven't found a definitive answer. Bone stock car, looking to install a set of OE Bosch plugs. What gap do I use? I've been seeing .018 - .022 thrown around for cars with a tune. What about stock?

I replaced the spark plugs and coil packs as a peace of mind project this Friday. I will share pics later today. I would love to get your feedback on conditions of my old plugs.
One note to add to the DIY, make sure you reconnect all DME connectors fully. I've seen several people post issues after completion. I too faced about 80 fault codes when I tried to start my car. 2 hours later I diagnose the problem was the middle DME connector (with the flap) was not seated correctly, where the bottom portion was open/off by 2mm. This caused all the errors. I disconnected and reconnected every connector to ensure all were seated perfectly. Cleared all the codes and now it's happy as can be. Needless to say I shat a brick thinking I had fried my DME... Gook luck and definitely do this DIY to get to know your car.
