Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread I've got two plugs grounding out #746931 08/24/06 05:15 AM Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 29 L lostone OP Getting the Wheeling Fever I went outside tonight and started up my truck beacuse I had a suspicion that one of my wires was grounding out beacuse the engine would idle rough and lack power at low speeds and miss. Sure enough I have a little light show coming from cylinders 1 and 6. The engine was rebuilt about 400 miles ago and the wires are brand new. I have spark plug heat sheild sleeves around all the spark plug boots beacuse I have downey headders. Would this cause the wires to ground out?

The expensive, top of the line Bosch seem to be the worst that I ever used. Someday I'll wise up and buy OEM. Believe what they say here: These trucks don't like aftermarket wires. 88 Reg Cab 22RE 5spd, Mods: 94 bed, Sunroof, Bucket Seats, PW, PL, AC, Keyless entry, remote start.

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler You might want to pull those plugs and look for carbon tracks on either the plug insulator or on the boots. Try cleaning both really well and see if that helps. Maybe there was some grease or other contaminant on either that led to the arcing. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Moderated by  4Crawler, 4x4Wire, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
