96000km Plug Replacement.

The Problem: Engine Cut while Idling

This wasn't scheduled change, just that the car has been stalling at red lights a couple of times. One was the suspect was bad plugs. So after it stalled again during lunch i decided to go get my self some new spark plugs.A pack of 4 Denso Iridium plugs which cost me RM170.


First time I'm changing plugs myself. When I removed the coil I found the it so have some sticky residue on the rubber. No clue what it was. Somehow I don't think you are suppose to find stuff in that chamber. Found this in chamber 1 and chamber 3.


The existing plugs have about 16,000km on them. Are they suppose to look like this?


So far no problem running after replacement. Now to monitor if the truck stalls again at the lights.

    The replacement was done at 96,000km. At 96,000km the existing spark plugs have already done 16,000km. They were replaced earlier at 80,000km.
