WTF sputtering w/ pics of plugs.. help me

[sleepersupra]

ok i replaced the plugs, all 6 with ngk iridium 1-step colder, part 3330..... and it ran amazing all the way to redline. after about 3 full pulls from 1,2, and 3 all the way to redline, after the three pulls it began to sputter. so i went home pulled #1 spark plug and this is what it looks like....i know the pics are big but i want you to be able to see them. the second pic kindof sucks but you can get the point

that white coating is a sign of bad timing low octane fuel is it not?

might help..

What octane fuel are you using?

 

[sleepersupra]

well i don't think it's low octane cause i'm running 91 (thats the highest we have) the timing i set at 12*. i found that page confusing as well i didn't see one that looked like it....maybe i'm retarded

 

[sleepersupra]

you wrote before i could post 91

 

[Yellow 13]

91 octane is right.

i believe your timeing should be at 10*

 

[sleepersupra]

i believe your timeing should be at 10*

yea i know but would it being off by 2* be the problem....i'm not being an ass just asking a serious question. cause i've seen guys on here with their timing at 15*.....

 

[antman]

don't know. i don't mess with my timing. i try not to gamble to much. i just let the ecu advance it for me.

i have that white stuff on my plug aswell not as much white as yours though only number 5 or 6 has it

mioght even be wrong heat range. how much boost r u running? im doing 94 octane with 14 degree timing.. my plugs kinda have that same white crap on them. im on stock ct26 though... 12psi

i'm running 91 octane w/ stock ct @ 16 psi when it doesn't sputter, no bc

[antman]

of course it could be the problem

the base timing sets up the ENTIRE timing map.

btw you see guys here running 15 degree base so that makes it right? So if you see the next guys jump off a cliff into the sea to go drown (my lemming suicide influence in effect yet again) you would do that too?

hey if i wanted your smart ass remark i would off called you personally....it was a serious question and i wanted a serious answer. i said i've seen guys running that and what is the difference...:thefinger thanks for responding but if your not helping fix the problem then don't write....this isn't sf.

all you had to say was....of course it could be the problem, the base timing sets up the ENTIRE timing map.

thanks for that bit of info

that they might be standalone

they might have c16 in the tank
they hope the knock sensor catches the knock,

it was serious answer I gave you. You only looked at part of the picture with those 15 degree guys.
