can i run all 4 leading spark plaugs?

my trailing a fouling alot, and thats why the engine wouldnt start. when i replaced them with leading the engine was easy to start. i know that leading is a hoter plug, but can i run all 4 of them in my n/a? does timing have to be adjusted?

If I recall correctly, trailing plugs don't fire until 800RPM. Cranking RPM is about 250. So having fouled trailing plugs won't affect starting.

Yeah, you can run them in all 4 holes. NAs run pretty rich to begin with.

But... I think you should trace down the actual problem instead of using a band-aid.

How about a wild guess..Your Injectors are Dirty..Could be why you are havin a hard time starting your car..because of Excess fuel..and why your Plugs are Fouling.
