Ok, im having some serious engine issues right now. The truck is bogging hard like its running only on a few cyclinders or something. Under acceleration it's not doing very well. I dont think i spit a plug cause im not hearing any poping sounds. The check engine light was coming on while i was crusing back home on the freeway but only when i gave it gas. What do u guys think? Bad Injector, Coil Plug, or spark plug? or maybe something else? If i take this to the dealer, do u think im gonna get my *** ripped off? Thanks guys. Oh afterwards there was a funky smell from the exhaust and the truck shakes quite bad at idle.

Time for new spark plugs, sounds like you cooked a few
Of course check the obvious first like a vac line that blew off or something,
but if it's rough on idle and running crappy my moneys on the plugs....

Good Luck

 

And Rob knows burnt plugs. LOL Sorry Rob could not resist. I to would suggest checking the plugs.

I did a high speed run one time in my 99 and ruined a coil pack I think no.4 was shot

 

u guys know what the dealer charges for a new plug change? Im at college with my truck right now and i dont have many tools or anything to work on this guy. But i think im gonna go ahead and attempt it myself this week. Anyone have any recomendations of plugs i can get at an autozone and also what to gap them at?

 

The EXACT thing happened to my truck truck after a high speed run down the freeway. I changed the plugs and had the same problem. It turned out to be a fried intake valve.

 

Add my 2002 L to that list.....

 

Funny you should ask that. I just took mine to a dealer in Houston to ask them how much to put the TR6's in my HD before I ship it back to England.

They quoted 4 hours at $80 per hour

Rob can probably do the whole lot in 30 mins but you'd have to get it over to NY

 

thanks guys im gonna attempt to change them to tr-5's at .038 gap

 

Get you some TR6's that way you are ready for any added boost in the future. They are one heat range cooler and will work fine with stock boost levels and cost the same.

A dealer in Houston quoted me $267 for a plug change. I went to sears and bought a socket and a long extension and did it my self.

 

is .38 a good gap for those?

 

depends on your boost level

 

im at stock boost give or take ive got an intake and chip but i just gapped them at .040

 

Its not that bad and only takes two dif tools. You need

A 3/8 rachet with a 5/8 plug socket. a swivel and about 24 inches of extension a roll of duct tape, a 7mm wrench and a 1/4 drive 7mm socket and rachet with about 12 inch of etension. This works for me and ive changed the plugs in my L about 10 times now and i have it down to 45 min
