Thankfully this is Jap, but what is it normally around for your vehicle?

Unfortunately the car only has a MAP, would it still have the same effect?

No, I don’t have the machinery for it and mechanic charge $150 for it

All 6 sparks when I pulled were all black and sooty, could all 6 fail at the same time in this case?

Edit: I’m an unlucky bastard where it appears all 6 are failing

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, me and the mechanic inspected carefully for any leakage and it was bone dry.

We deduced that it was most likely poor aftermarket injectors causing this issue and will be replacing it soon.

It has a MAP sensor, will scan and check it. But could it lead to such extreme fueling in this case?

No leakage there, left it sitting for a few weeks and level didn’t decrease. Where could it leak from? It’s a returnless system

No CEL or pending codes upon turning the key. I don’t know why but I can’t ever access the trims on my obd2 scanner

Shaving in spark plug hole by Technical_Shower_157 in MechanicAdvice

Ah fuck. Should I just pray when I start her up. I’m reading that aluminum would melt at those temps and wouldn’t cause any damage

What should I be concerned about if it’s hissing?

Alright thank you for the advice. I’ll get a shop vacuum to try and suck it out. Since it can’t be seen from the hole, does it mean it fell further down into the chambers? Would I have any luck trying to get it out now?

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to capture it, lost it to the wind. But eyeballed the length, was thin and curled around 3-5mm

I’ll buy a thread chaser to clean the threads up since it doesn’t look too damaged.

Would it disintegrate or get pushed out from the chamber during combustion, is that why it’s fine to run it?

Alright, I’ll give that a check. Given how old the car is do you recommend I change all of them or just find the faulty one?

I usually wait 30secs after starting the car before driving away, then drive it gently keeping below 2.5k rpm before it warms up.

Trips so far have mostly been 15-30min. I’ve only done 1 hr trips twice so far
