mcjacko1987 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 spark plugs lol. even that was a mission itself, i couldnt get one of the plugs out as there was a rubber ring around the base of it and i couldnt get my socket round it. so changed the other 3 and went back to that plug and took me a while but managed to dig it out. looked like the rubber ring from inside a spark plug socket and looked like that plug hasn't been touched for ages as it was grubby. all the plugs looked quite grubby but that one was worse. i also took a look at the dizzy cap and all 4 pins in there had white corrosion on them about a mm or 2 thick :S so scraped that off but im guessing it needs replacing.as for windows i put the power motor back in and checked the wiring between the door and wing and all looked fine, was some grease though but im guessing someones put that there to protect connections from corrosion.. so im guessing the resisters in the power motor have blown so il have to replace that with a new one or 2nd hand we will see.didnt get the wing done as i had a footy game at half 5. only just got back now n its dark so rest will have to wait. least i got to spend an hour n half on the car though....old vs new plugall the grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I really need to replace the spark plugs in mine too.. Have you notice its running any better with the new spark plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjacko1987 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 started up a lil better and didnt feel as lumpy as it has been doing lately. really think the dizzy needs doing to though with the amount of corrosion on the pins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I always find changing the plugs makes a big difference, and also its a cheap thing to service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
