Spark Plug Issues

I was doing a service on the stagea yesterday which included changing the spark plugs.

I removed the first spark plug and when installing the new one it felt hard to screw in so I pulled the plug out and tried another plug and had the same problem.

I didnt try and force the plug all the way but I did turn it a few times but it was too tight.

I spoke to a mechanic and he recommended that I get a spark plug re-threader (tap and dye??) and try and fix it.

Ive never done this before.

Has anyone been in the same situation or can anyone with experience give me some help?

I never thought changing a set of plugs would be such a hassle :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance.

yeah just coat it with grease then run the 3 cutters through it dont just screw it in , screw it in abit then back it off , u shouldn`t have to use much force (have u got the 3 cutters with different tapers

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
