eke_zetec_RWD Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This doesent seem right, the steel part of a spark plug is all one piece. And would take mega force to sheer it. Take a pic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphrod Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 could possibly be rounded then? all i know is i put a light down there and its perfectly round. and my spark plug remover will not take it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The little rubber boot off the HT lead hasn't come off and stayed on the plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eke_zetec_RWD Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Use slightly too small 12 point tube socket and bang it over. Or if car runs fine leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 did it idle before you changed plugs? I wouldn't have thought stale fuel would make it run that shit after not so long. Injected etc = it should be able to run a bit better how much gas is in it? If not much just slam 20l of 98 in there, try go for a drive and get some temperature in it. check for vac leaks etc. chahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphrod Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 nothing to do with the vac was touched which is what makes it wierd it seems as if theres a terrible vac leak. and it wouldnt start before i changed plugs but when they were good yes it idles fine. might try the 98 gas thing and just go for a good 10km drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
