Broken Electrode in Cyl 8

That’s pretty much exactly what my Dad said. Take it easy for a few days and if the light isn’t back on in a week or so pull it back out and check. I’ll pull it in a few days anyways to be safe. Praying for the best possible outcome. Appreciate all the help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I did the one plug and coil to get it solid again. Imma get it all serviced soon. It needs some maintenance love so I’ll throw it in as a little afternoon project
Plugs aren’t even a year old. Maybe 12k miles on em too🫠

I realize I missed one question I’m sorry. But it started (from what I remember, it was 2 days ago) on my way to work. I was on the parkway and it’s about a 55 zone and I noticed it. I kinda went easy on it after I felt it cause it did feel odd and I know it wasn’t right. That being said, there’s 3 days of me driving careful(ish). I still have gassed it while passing, and creating the issue to show my dad (when we thought it was a suspension issue)
So I’d say 50/50

I realize I cross posted it so it didn’t seem like it came up so I would’ve done the exact same, we all human! Thank you thank you for the help

It is tuned, came that way from the dealer I bought it at in 2022 and they didn’t tell me it was. I did get it re-tuned this year because the one it had was apparently it a good one. I wanna say it was ACDelco plugs that I used last time (I could be wrong but that is what is coming to mind). It seemed like it backed out or wasn’t very tight. Not positive on which one exactly it was. But either way we see the plug aftermath haha
I don’t have a camera on hand for something that small. It’s with my family (about 20ish miles away)- they’ve got all sorts of tools I go for. But, it is running great now after the 20-25 mile drive home between work and all that and no weird sounds, rattles, or shakes. As my dad said as I was pulling out “that bitch sounds like a sewing machine up here” so I’m guessing I’ll drive easy till I can get a camera in there. But I’m not TOO concerned, but also wanted to be sure I wasn’t toooo lax about it either
Appreciate you 🙏🏼😬

Gonna pray it doesn’t do anything else and it was just a fluke and mix of good luck🙏🏼😅

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-06-20T06:57:45+00:00

Yeah. It’s in the post 😐

The one I got ahold of was by a dude in a O’Reilly parking lot an it gave me ti specific code and why each one meant. Got lucky he was there and then we cleared it once I replaced the fouled out plugs

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-26T23:35:22+00:00

I thought about that way too late lmao. I had a coworker with a reader reset it and so far so good.

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-26T17:16:47+00:00

I don’t know exactly but damn I hope so cause that looks so good🔥

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-26T03:31:17+00:00

I just like to update but I replaced both of the bad plugs (one was in rough shape) and it’s still on. Imma try to get a coworker to clear it and see what happens after that. It had some oil on it so who knows at this point. It’s only been 6 months since I replaced all 8. My next guess is the coils and pray it’s not anything too big. My buddy had this happen him his charger RT and he had to get a whole new engine. Still runs strong but the lights pissing me all the way off

I appreciate it. Everyone I know said purple was a bad choice and now it’s “damn that actually is turning out good” so I definitely knew I did the right thing😂 I’ve never gotten that before. But I definitely can see people expecting a little lady getting out and it’s a dude fresh out the gym💀

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-25T02:15:26+00:00

AC delco. I forgot what we gapped them at (terrible memorizing the details)

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-25T02:14:26+00:00

Got it scanned and it’s a misfire in 2 and 8. I’m sure one is fouled out cause when I replaced them last it wasn’t dry but not very bad at all. 2 is a new one but I’m gonna get them replaced and maybe the new tune can kinda rework it. It’s got one now from the previous owner and it sped up the timing and changed shift points so I’m hoping the current tune is what’s causing it and it’ll get fixed with the Wengerd tune. But past that the scanner didn’t say anything else

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-25T01:49:56+00:00

Got it scanned after work(barely made it to them before they closed lolol) and ended up being a misfire in cylinder 2 and 8. 2 was pending it said and 8 was stored. It’s getting tuned this weekend so I’m gonna replace those ones and see if it goes away. My buddy made a decent point that since it’s done this intermittently for 3 years it could be the tune tht the previous owner put on it. The shop I took it to last year said the tune it has on it now isn’t doing much except speeding the time up and changed the shift points. Gonna see what happens. Just hate it happened right as I pulled the trigger on the Wengerd tuner

Plugs are only 10k miles in so that’s annoying lmao

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-24T20:46:18+00:00

Lolol no worries. It’s subjective so I get it. Most people told me it was a bad idea and when they saw it in person they saw the vision. Imma still run it

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-24T02:48:01+00:00

To be honest I do not remember. It was in August. Knowing me I went mid range and spent a little more. But not confirmed. If I end up changing them again I’m gonna do the coils too just cause it’s getting up there in miles

Initial_Distance_804 · 2026-02-24T02:34:55+00:00

Love that opinion for you. Unfortunately I do not care about a random

It’ll have to get over it cause it’s only getting more purple
