I don't think so either.
It CAN'T be.
All I can think of is coil, or even ECM.

I was thinking the same thing. He's replaced the wires 3 times, opti once, and plugs a few times with different gaps and different heat ranges.Originally posted by MP81 View PostI don't think so either.

He said the car runs amazing like 2,500rpm and up. It's idle-2,500rpm it acts up. Says it does the exact same thing it did in the videos of his car from a few months ago.2005 Yamaha R6

hes def fed up with his car i talk to him a couple hours ago, as of right now im kinda not sure what it could be either
he moves the wires it idles like shit and moves them again it changes
he is running tr55's in it im not sure on his exact compression ratio but im at 11.5:1 and running a tr6 (cooler plug) at .040 gap and it seems pretty good
but i think he should be fine still with 55's
but iim gonna see if i can get out there
i think he should get a data log and check like knock count and ectsigpic

Yeah, there's not a whole lot to the ignition system, and most of it he's replaced.
He said it started when he put his Taylors on (I've never had problems with mine, there's potential human error regarding the connections that he had to crimp on), but he's tried new wires and still gets it.
He said the plugs "glow" at night..
I'm pretty sure mine don't.
I'm thinking he has a major issue, unless I've just never seen plug wires glow...Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

Plug wires leaking? That's the only thing I can think of to explain the glow.
Has he got a new coil?sigpic

No, and I told him that he should try a new one.
These are brand new wires, how could they be leaking?
All I can think of is something wrong with the coil, and thus causing issues.Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

Exactly. If the wires are glowing, they're obviously arcing. I'm not sure how you'd test a coil though.sigpic

My bad, plug wires.Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

sounds to me like his wires are having to much juice being pulled through them. That is the only reason that they would "glow" at night. Is it posible to change the charge that goes to the spark plugs?
