hi guys looking for some advice. Recently bought a ej8 with a b16a2 conversion done. Car started and drove fine on the test drive etc. It was then parked up for a few weeks whilst I sorted some bits out around the car. Had to jump start it to get started for taking it down the work shop to build the exhaust. It was running a bit rough and eventually cut out and would just cough and backfire when I tried to start it. With some help over the phone from @robthedoc i checked the timing was ok (which it was) but noticed the plugs had a massive gap and looked old. Closed the gap and the car started, but sounds like it's not running on all cylinders. Tonight I changed the oil and filter and fitted some ngk plugs. The car now won't start. The codes on the plugs are slightly different, the old ones are ngk.....5.. And the new ones ngk....6.. ( can't mind the actual code) could it be that iv been supplied the wrong plugs? Really need to get this running for the weekend as my other coupe has sold. There wasn't a fuel filter in the engine bay. It was just piped from the fitting to the banjo, but iv since fitted the correct filter and bracket. Could it be bad fuel too? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Ok, this is to help anyone who might not know how to post photos on the web. Here's how to post pictures on this site. This How To is also used to display an image in your signature (the bit underneath all our posts) To change your sig, go to the top right of the page, click your username to see the dropdown menu, and select "Account settings". You will then see a new page, and on the left side, a menus bar. Fifth one down is "signature". Click on it, and you will see a box where you can fill in what you want in your signature. If you want a photo in it, click the "Choose files" button and choose a photo from your pc/device. Once it has uploaded the photo, click the small "add" symbol on the photo and it will add it to your signature. You can also use photos hosted elsewhere such as photobucket. To use one of these, visit your image on photobucket etc and copy the url of the image. Paste the url into the signature box. Now click "save changes" and you're done! Please note, maximum size of sigs are 600 x 100px NOTE: For photobucket images, you need to use the "direct link" option on photobucket. Dave
