fromtheshadows Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Had misfiring located in one cylinder and I replaced the one cylinder with an E3 plug because that, autolites and iridiums were all that were available. Thought I'd give it a try. It quit misfiring. So I replaced them all with E3 plugs. Initially they were awesome. All the manufacturers claims were true. Better mileage, more power, even better sound. Then a few days later I took out the exhaust silencer to play, and under WOT popopopo. Misfiring. Dayum. I shoulda known better. Replaced them with champion coppers and misfiring stopped, so did the better mileage and power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I know a lot of the guys have problems with anything other than the coppers. What did you gap the E3s to by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromtheshadows Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 E3 plugs can't be gapped. I also know that I should stick with gappable copper. Just bought the one to test it it worked so I got them all. Just trying to pioneer a better sparking plug. Not so lucky. The design looks like they have a helluva spark so I thought they might work. As a side note if I had a stock car and exhaust I would get them again as the spark doesn't seem to blow out until about 14 psi, didn't misfire when I had the silencer in,and they do run stronger than any plugs I've ran. Now yay back to 17psi. without problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
