Spark Plug Issue

[mjothree]

it doesnt sound like the issue is with the spark plugs but something around it.

Coil issue is what I'm thinking. Regardless, I'll be putting upgraded plugs in

And your car is NOT chipped right?

We've asked before and hasn't replied.

Okay forget that question.

How about this: mjothree, know anyone selling a lightly used LAP3 because it may oray not be causing issues with their car?

Thank you judge, jury and executrioner.

As much as I am inclined to agree with you I would say innocent until proven guilty. This is how rumors start.

he's not the one on trial here. it's a spark plug or tune that is. he's not doing anything wrong by running the tune. but he obviously doesn't want any confirmed record that his stinger is tuned. if we want to get to the bottom of the issue consider the car tuned. let's use common sense. he's been asked 10 times if the car is tuned and he's ignored the question every time. but answered everything else. is it not obvious?

He has the right not to answer. I understand.

Anyway, props for letting us know and keep us updated!

And I don't see ten times, I see the one where I asked why that would be an issue

thanks for clearing this up. i'm adding a little salt and pepper to my words and having them for a late lunch.

Thanks for clearing that up. Makes me nervous for sure..

No doubt. If these things are popping on their own adding a chip is inviting problems. Thanks also for letting us know.

We've got some plugs being sent out to customers ASAP with the chip. They should be in their hands soon to be used with the Lap3 chip

Did they change your coil packs or look into this as a solution to blown plugs?

I've been hearing that many stock Stingers have been coming in for coilpack related issues (therefore some spark plug related). Apparently dealerships are being told to handle them individually, they are hoping to not have this go into a recall...yet.

We've been in contact with a few of our dealerships that have informed us of this.
