Wait, power lose or engagement of vtec, there is a difference.

coco_nut909 · 07-08-2008, 09:08 PM

both You think it could compression lose cause when I take off theres power lose even when i engage vtec

**the.original.kermit** · 07-09-2008, 12:10 AM

do a compression and leakdown test, did this happen over time or all at once

coco_nut909 · 07-09-2008, 04:12 PM

all at ounce and I just did a compression and leak test and everything checked out fine but when I checked the plugs they where all burnt and their denso iridiums i noticed they were burnt two weeks after i had put them so I bought another set. I had ngk laser welded plugs before and they where fine so im thinking its more than likley the plugs

**the.original.kermit** · 07-09-2008, 04:40 PM

you bought iridiums, aren't those like $15-25 a plug?

shoot, always ran bosch platinum because of the 100,000 mile thing. I think i'm going to switch on the next set, just run plain jane boschs or champions.

AHHVTEC · 07-09-2008, 06:09 PM

depends on the car,

efhondakid · 07-09-2008, 06:09 PM

That and high-dollar plugs with 50 electrodes or how ever they market them, dont give you any extra ponies, no matter what your ass-dyno may say. I ALWAYS run regular old NGKs in all my stuff, car, dirt bike, lawnmower, etc.

**the.original.kermit** · 07-09-2008, 06:21 PM

champions are like what, $1-2 bucks a plug

Take it honda and get them to check it out with their fancy computers since the car is newer. Doesn't sound like anything is wrong but im not calling you a liar but they will find something if its wrong.
