Are these sparkplugs GONE?
My first time getting the 7's plugs out, wasnt too bad for the Trailing (top?) rear one.
Had chunky stuff on it like grease mixed with dirt and oil like, I put water on it to see if it was just buildup but it still is all gross http://files.sup2u.com/1/91rx7/02-10-07_1147.jpg http://files.sup2u.com/1/91rx7/02-10-07_1148.jpg |
With the price or spark plugs id just go buy new ones..theres only 4... cant hurt..
|
Use a wire brush to clean it thoroughly. Then wipe it off real good with a rag or shop towel.
|
That's probably dielectric grease on the boots of the sparkplugs.
It keeps water out. |
Plugs are 3.79 at the parts store. Not even worth the time trying to clean.

So are they salvagable or not? Also should I change the wires? and what type of plugs are best |
Ok really if you are going to clena them at least take a multimeter and read the resistance on each plug and make sure they are even worth keeping same goes for the wires.

if the center pin/ electrode is rounded and no longer has a sharp edge, then it needs to be replaced
|
first how many miles do u have on the car if u think its been 30,000-50,000 miles and uve been runnin the car hard then change the plugs an then wires. only change jus the plugs if u fouled one or what ever
|
seriously, just buy new plugs.. it'd be like you pull your spark plug wire out right, and somehow the wire got cut in half, and instead of spening 20 bucks on all new wires, you decide to make your own..
Just buy new spark plugs, they arnt very exspensive, theres only 4, and if you already have them out just save yourself time on having to pull them in another few thousand miles cause your not sure if they are good or not. |

This isnt asking how/if i should clean them its asking ARE THEY GOOD OR NOT I need to know these things for future refrence, they're HORRIBLE rounded, the electrode. The first rotor leading is as tiny as .09 leadd |

i just bought my 90 gtu and i changed the plugs just today and the person before me put the plugs in wrong. they put the leading on top and trailing on bottom. and when i replaced them and put them in the right way it ran really shitty for about 2 minutes, then it smoothed out.
