Hello my 94 GT celica has been sitting for about 6 months stored and today I started it up changed oil and it ran fine. Later today I went to start it and it fired up and then died after about a minute. To my surprise the spark plugs are looking shot and they only have maybe 2,000 miles on them. I have champion spark plugs and they look as if the center has worn away to the point that the gap is all off and I need new plugs so my question is
-What spark plugs last the longest and give good mileage? What should I buy... -Also I run a straight through exhaust with a header and a magnaflow muffler ,plus a cold air intake. Is it possible I was running too lean or hot those 2,000 miles and wore away the center electrode. 3 of the plugs are redish brown and 1 is grayish white on the insulated porcelain...... Thanks, Brandon |

Well I put in the NGK spark plugs it fired eventually but took awhile. It isn't running right.
-When I quickly give it gas it stumbles and wants to die. I am thinking fuel filter, carquest isn't able to get one for awhile and Napa is closed today. Is there a good place to order one online? -Also my car has 130,000 miles on it and has been sitting I am thinking possibly the fuel injectors are clogged what do you recommend for running through the system to clean them out? |
