 Subject: new plugs rough idle
IP: Logged
Message:
I just changed to 3923's (gapped 0.040)and now it has a rough idle, and the check engine light came on?
Was fine before. The old plugs (stock) were worn (gap 0.046-0.050) and idled smooth.
I going to change the wires just in case I damaged one.
Any suggestions

i bet the engine light came on because of an engine cylinder misfire... two problems that i can think of:
1. spark plug wires not all the way on
or
2. spark plug wires on the wrong cylinder
check to make sure you wires are on right

I know it's a *B* to get some of them out, but you might want to recheck the gaps I have seen people mash them closed while installing them and didn't know it.

haha, like i said, flow with the bosch! i got mine in sunday and they are pretty good. i can tell the engine runs a little smoother i guess, but nothing to get thrilled about. hope you like the autolites...Hey Intense! you know how i said i was ordering the cold air intake from koller? well i ordered it like 4 weeks ago. i called today on the way to school and they said that mopar cancelled making them! that bites man! i was kinda hot, but i guess i will have to float with a K&N. i kinda liked that price though for the mopar one. oh well. what K&N one do you think i should get? what is the pin number for it? any help there. i want to see a difference here. thanks man.

it's the same kit with a different name... the only thing is it rubs that a/c line to the condensor (the filter does). just bend it out of the way (or remove the a/c like me..hehehe)
