  • Redish spark plugs?

    After going through a few bottles from spraying, I checked my spark plugs. They are a redish color. What does that indicate?

    Are you using an octane booster?

      I have a few times. Is that what's causing it? I only use 93 octane too.

      Update: Like Dominic said, it's coming from using octane booster.

        I don't have it in front of me but Haynes manual has a guide to what the spark-plug colors/condition mean.

          I've run Red Line Oil's injector cleaner and had it turn my spark plugs red.

              does injector cleaner really work? cause i think i have a clogged injector that is causing my misfire.


              what is the best brand? should i also get some seafoam as well?

                Sometimes when you run a very high octane gas or use a high octane booster with the 93 octane, it will turn your plugs red. Dont quite know why, but it is one way to check which of your cylinders may be running lean. The more red, the better. Shouldnt be anything to worry about.
