Thread: Misfire on different plugs

  1. #1

    Exclamation Misfire on different plugs

    I've been hunting this misfire for a while but something baffles. This is on a R36

    Factory plugs which are NGK ILZKR8A Laser Iridium Spark Plug car misfire on cold till its warmed up

    Ive had Bosch Double Iridium Spark Plug 0242140528 YR6TII330T fitted hardly any misfire on cold.

    Why is it misfiring on the NGK but not on the Bosch?

    So far new coil packs, air mass meter

    I know carbon build up on the 3.6L can cause miss fires at cold, it might something to do with that, have you ever had it wallnut blasted?

    Could incorrect gaps be to blame?

    Where abouts in the UK are you? I follow these guys on Youtube and Facebook (very knowledgeable guys) and they do carbon cleaning as well as a whole host of other repairs on VW/Audi vehicles.

    These guys are in Dudley, just outside of Birmingham.
