Sputter after new spark plugs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Changed my spark plugs yesterday and ever since, my s13 KA dual cam has been sputtering. Checked everything and it all seemed fine, gapped correctly and seated. Drove my car to and back from school and it didn't change. It only sputters during idle. Help please

Made sure the wires are properly seated?

Make sure timing is still in the correct order ?? Lol its a long shot but hey you might of put the wires out of order

Did you put the wires in the right order?

Miss240sex · 03-30-2012, 03:03 PM

Okay so I'm rechecking everything and its all seated and didn't cross wires. Gonna try changing gap. Do u guys know what the gapping is? I had it at .044

Pull one wire at a time with the car running you might have a bad plug out of the box it's happened to me once

no they're correct =[ it sounds a lot better tho now that it's at a .64 gap but it's suppose to be at .044 =/ i think previous owner might have screwed them in too tight cuz it took some effort to take out
