Ok i have learned that i might need a hotter plug..
I have a problem when i accelerate up hill or with a load. i get a clattering sound.. Same sound my old chevy made.
I tried other plugs and they all made my truck idel rough.
I using nissan plugs.. i think their ngk?
How can i tell whether im using a cold plug or a hot plug? j
Sounds like you have pinging problem. You might a timing problem, recheck timing. Have you tried different brand of gas, maybe go up a grade on the gas, ie.
87octane to 89octane or 91. Not sure if hotter plug would help. Try going to auto parts store they should be able to tell you which model is hotter plug. Have you tried NGK site or Nippon Denso site for plug info.
Same cheap gas that you used in the chevy? :-)
NGK is the right plug, it's the fuel(or ignition timing) not the plugs causing this.
Get compression checked. Could easily have massive carbon deposits.
Nope, it's something related to the compression ratio of -YOUR- engine (including carbon build-up etc), the ignition timing and the fuel quality. Using QT gas?
