Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough, is the white on the electrode (the part that generates the spark)? Or the firing end (the part the spark goes to)?Xxplosive959 wrote:its only on the tip. The closet threads are little brown. I'll see if maybe i can get some pics
A pictures would help

I had white sparkplug tips when one of my injectors fried, and I just replaced the injector and everything was back to normal operation.

Not always, it's sometimes hard to tell on the KA, a little bit of white-gray is normal, if the whole plug is blistered white, many things can cause that: incorrect heat range of plugs, a problem with the cooling system, too much timing, intake manifold leak, and lean air fuel mixture.TogueDrifter wrote:I think it means Lean...
