Chris I have a 2v mustang like yours and I found oil in my spark plugs. Could you advise on what to do? Thanks
My 8.2 mm measure 74 – 87.3. Is that reasonable?
I have a 1996 Ford Explorer I changed the wires but I hear no clicking noise when attaching them to the plug. I have a set of Duralast 4144.
Someone told me to check my spark plugs and I didn't know how. Lol. But thank you. You got a sub from me.
My mechanic by mistake clamped one of the spark plug wires and it dented a bit, after he was working on the car and i tested it, i noticed that the car works iradically when I tried to press the gas pedal, and my fuel economy decreased. Could it be that that small dent in the wire damaged it inside, and yea the wires were brand new before i gave the car to the mechanic. Thank u in advance, and your videos are so helpful!!!😊
sparking under water mist was a cool new tip to me thanks Chris
