Have been having an issue with misfire, particularly the #1 cylinder. I ordered a full set of plugs (ac Delco, I did my research) and wires. Of course, the normally speedy RockAuto shipping took over a week, so had to leave for a long weekend out of town before I could do the job.
Was towing the boat about 4 hours to Northern Michigan, and started having Torque go crazy on the misfires, I was over 11,000 by the time I got her. Luckily, where we are has plenty of tools so I stopped and grabbed a sparkplug on the way. Surprisingly, the job went pretty painlessly and after a bit of idling in the driveway showed no signs of additional misfire.
Here's a pic of the old plug after 130,000 miles, what do you think, needed replacement?
Figure on doing the rest next week and also all the wires.
