If it did that after spraying it with nitrous you've probably went lean and ruined the plugs.

put some tr6's in there and call it good. look at the electrodes when you take the old ones out. Iridiums and nitrous are a volitile cocktail.

Were those the plugs it was built with? Those WERE the updated ones for my LQ4 (since superceded again) but I didn't know the newer ones came with them.

Don't worry about them. The stock gap on them is .33-.36. That's perfect.

cool thanks,,just finished putting them on,,i noticed on some plugs,,on the threed part it was wet with looked to be like oil.hmmmmmmmmmm but the main part of the plugs were not wet etc

That's bad if it's oil. That prolly fuel. The pink red usually comes from running an octane booster. Plugs that have seen some nitrous usually have a greenish color

You probably had too hot of a plug and thats what caused the problem after spraying.

Hey bro since Ive had my verter installed mine has died twice!! I have to call Nelson on monday!! Tyler told me the idle tables prolly need adjusted. But mine surges from 350-1500 rpms wthout even touchin the pedal, is that what yours does?
