Rust and plugs

I took the plugs out of the 96 today to check em. They were the wrong plugs and they were shot. All were single platinum and one had a gap of .090. The originals were changed out i guess. Its been awhile since I changed aero plugs so I forgot about the scratched arms...on 5 and 6.

My 94 is gonna go bye bye as soon as the 96 is all perfect. The poor girl is so rusted that I litterally ripped the trailer hitch off it. The frame is gone big time,holes, not good. I'm gonna save every part I can off it. I may even do a convertable aero for fun but it will probably fold in half. LOL

Go through the wheel well (using a jackstand) and dog house on #6. Works for me.

might want to disconnect the neg. bat. lead for 5 minutes so PCM looses its bad store habits and relearns good ones from new plugs...any plug missing will have affected adaptive fuel tables, shift points, etc.
