Do you have any idea what your AFR is? Looks to me kind of what happens when you're running lean. I had this happen to me one time after I was tuned but then I repositioned the intake and clocked the MAF tube differently and it caused my fueling to be way off and I was running extremely lean and it acted like this.

Yes why wouldn't the plugs work? I'm on e85 fuel with 80s injectors.

its not the plugs youre having an issue with, its the spark plug gap. Re-gap the spark plugs to around .030" and your problem should be fixed.

Switched to the plugs you recommended and changed the gap to .034 and the issue is still here. Another video of it.

Or the ones that the car brought? Not the kit.

Or one not mentioned above?

You need to log it when that happens. Only way to know what's really going on. Probably that zzp tune lol

I don't know why everyone is ignoring this but if you don't have an AFR gauge you need one. If you don't know your AFR quit driving it.

I know. But he/she just keeps ignoring it but to me I would make sure that is in check way before getting caught up in spark plug gap. Incorrect fueling is a very common problem with a supercharger kit and a canned tune.

The issue was a bad throttle body. I replaced it and now everything is running well. And yes it is a 2.4.

And get a intake that goes into the wheel well. You're sucking in hotter air with that intake.
