Replaced all plugs. 30 miles later 1 and 6 are black. Look rich black. Index 12 injectors are new. Even swapped injectors around just in case. Anyone have any other ideas on what to try? I have also played with coils.
Yikes
-Check those AFRs.
-Check for blow by with a compression test. - Post up some pictures of plugs for the community to help analyze.
- diagnostic info like fueling details, ex type,tune, mods, mileage,codes.
I did a compression test and all the cylinders came back at 165 equal. Tested multiple times on different days even.
No codes. Have PI in intake. FBO. Running E85.
Since replacing the intake and changing the PI from MMP gen 1 plate to the BMS intake I am having some rich conditions (-34%) but afrs are not going high. So not sure if that is from rich or not.
Also, i have a huge oil consumption. 1 qt in about 350 miles. I did have a rear main seal that was pushed out on the bottom that I just got fixed. No oil spots where I parked so if it was coming out there it had to blow away while driving. Removed the o2 sensors and looked into turbos and all is dry. No leaks anywhere including OFH and VC. No smoke either. No lose of power.
I swapped injector 1 with 5 and 6 with 2. The black did not follow the injectors. My last idea is to swap PI injectors and see if it is indeed a rich plug from PI.
I know you said no leaks but... No cracks in the VC? That will increase blowby and oil consumption and can cause black plugs. Dealing with that now on my car.
If I have cracks they are small enough to not leak oil. Not leaking any oil up top of engine. Turbo does have a little dried up spot of oil under the front CHRA vband. Possibly just a little extra oil from install came out and dripped down.
I did get the rear main fixed and reset my counter to see how long it takes for it to drop. Won't be another week or so of me driving before I find out if that did anything though.
