autolite 3922 are the same heat range and specs as the ngk bkr7e

 

Clean your MAF sensor and clear the codes!!!! Mine does this at least once a year. you're CAI probably sucked in a bit of water or your MAF sensor might be dirty (for some reason I've seen my MAF sensor get dirtier with my CAI than a regular intake...)

BTW When i clean my MAF sensor I actually notice that I get better gas Mileage as well. I use the special MAF sensor cleaner and make sure I get in every nook and cranny.

 

I would stick with NGK because the ecotec responds very well to them. Did you notice the stock plugs are made by NGK? Well, they are.

Check out the NGK bkr7e. make sure you put some silicone dielectric grease on the end of the spark plug that connects to the boot. It'll make your coils happy

 

anyone know a vendor that sells gap tools as well as the plugs? I can get a gap tool and the plugs from amazon, but I would rather support one of our vendors...

 

Pep boys should sell the gap tools for like a buck

 

its the plugs def. I tried thse plugs and was sounding like a harley in no time. They were completely fouled. I went back to autolite and had no probs.

 

bro you can get a gap tool at any auto parts store lol.

 

I think you need to re-read his post and then let it settle in...

 

I get it but I don't understand why you would pay for shipping on somthing that you can get for a buck at a parts store. Shipping if going to be more than a buck...

To the OP I still think you should look into cleaning your MAF sensor and then resetting the codes before you do anything else. This has always fixed it for me when my car was acting exactly the same way yours was...

 

Alright, I have the plugs coming in now. Can I pick up MAF cleaner at an auto parts store just like the gap tool? Any suggestions for a good MAF cleaner that people have used?

 

Any basic MAF cleaner works.. they are all pretty much the same thing.

and yes u can pick them both up at the same place.

 

Ya it would kill someone to spend the extra $3.45 in shipping just because they don't want to support the vendors who give discounts on their products/items

I used CRC before when my uncle over oiled the k&n filter i gave him and it worked pretty well. It says it doesn't leave residue but if you wipe it down with a lint free towel you'll notice a little residue. Just make sure you give it a good wipe down and leave time to dry. Also make sure the MAF is intact before and after you clean.

 

Sorry dude I'm in it to enhance my pocket book not someone elses. if I can find something like that somewhere for 1/4 of the price I'm buying it I don't really care who I buy it from. Now if I were to buy something like a TVS supercharger for example I'm damn sure gonna buy it from someone who will back it up.

 

LOL your "posket" book must be pretty empty if you cant spend $5.00...gas is going up again you might want to cut down on the boost

 

I can spend $5 but it's foolish to spend $4 in shipping for a $1 item. I don't really care if they are a "supporting vendor" or not.

 

check you exuast make sure you didnt blow a gasket that would account for the harley sound you where hearing, when mine blew i knew exacty what it was and is sounded like ass

 

Flex pipe = loud.

But that was a progressive sound (started quiet).

Worked its up up through a completely divorced flex pipe in about 1 1/2 weeks.

 

It did start out that it only made the sound when I hit the gas, but worked its way up till I would hear it at very light throttle... Might be the exhaust gasket. I'll get a good look all around when I have a chance to look at it all. If its the exhaust, that might be a good excuse to get that header/downpipe from clear image (I realize this would be about 10x as expensive as just replacing the gasket, but it would be more fun)

 

Actually thats the same thing i did.. lol...

Flex pipe blew.. new header / dp went in lol (from clear image too)

 

haha rock on!

 

no other choice man lol... Why spend all that money and not go faster?? lol.

 

Dude i see what your saying, But come on its a $1 dollar tool, Whay pay $5 bucks and wait a week? Im sure vendors are just fine without that dollar.

 

I looked at your garage and I would seriously take a close look at that header and dp you got. I've heard some shitty things about em

I understand but the guy said he wanted to support the vendors and I don't really see why not. ya know?

 

Alright I have my NGK BKR7Es and I am putting them in tomorrow morning. I was looking at their gap and it seems like most of them are pretty close to .034. None are bigger, and there was one or two that seemed a little small. I think I got them widened up.

I did a bit of reading, and I think I am going to start at .034 and see where that goes. Hopefully it will at least stop the misfire.

Any words of wisdom?

 

Mine were at 0.043 when I got them. I havent put my 2.8 pulley on yet so I just left them like that.

This is from cobalt-addiction's site. Im not sure how accurate they are but they say that they are based off dyno's.

3.30" to 3.20" supercharger pulley - .045" gap

3.10" to 3.00" supercharger pulley - .045" gap

3 - 2.90" to 2.80" supercharger pulley - .040" gap

2.70" to 2.60" supercharger pulley - .035" gap

2.50" supercharger pulley - .035" gap
