Thread: What do you think's wrong here? (vid)

Yeah their on there perfectly fine and they appear to have a grayish color to them which would be considered normal if I'm not mistaken?

did a wet compression test and they both went up to 150ish....
Sucks because this engine only has 119k miles on it..

Also I keep hearing a ticking sound when accelerating.. it only does it when I accelerate but I can't hear it if I just rev it up or let off the gas

figure anything out yet?

could be detonation or wire arching, secondary ignition likes to act up more with heavy load on the engine. spray some soapy water on your spark plug wires and look for arching, it helps to do this when its dark. as for compression loss i cant really say on that one. if u were detonating you could have burned some stuff up

Well it did it even after I changed the plug wires but I do know it was arching before I changed them... Guess I'll have to check the wires again.. Kind of don't want to even mess with the engine anymore and want to get a new one already.. =/

trust me theres always a chance for bad wires, ive gotten some for customers from carquest and had to take them off right after installin because they were arching, timing set right? your pulley could be off so it could be off

timing is at 15-16 degrees and I'll have to check for arching in a second since it's dark out now.

One thing I noticed was that the hose that goes down into the spark plug hole for the compression test was spraying out gas from down inside there... What would cause this to only do that on 2? And yeah I know your supposed to unplug the relay for the fuel pump but I was lazy :o

man what the hell? They ARE!!! Ugh.. Glad I still have warranty on the wires... stupid duralast...

gas in cyl 2 eh, could be an injector sticking open and flooding the cylinder but i cant be sure without looking at it. you could take out your plugs out again and turn the key on to prime the fuel pump and look in your cylinders and see if 2 is filling with gas, if it is the injector is stuck open.
