After overnight 1st startup takes longer to fire
On 1st start after sitting overnight ever since I replaced the plugs with the IK20's the engine struggles to fire a few seconds. My battery also did drain one night, but I charged it right back up immediately (left map light on). Successive restarts of the engine after the 1st firing (in the same day) start it right up.
It always cranks fast with no problem and never drags when I turn the key which is why I'm not believing its the battery. Ya think I just need to get that seafoam done to get rid of all the rich build-up from the IK24's? The IK24's were in for 1000 miles and built up a lot of black soot on the plugs.

Re: After overnight 1st startup takes longer to fire
Well, I took great care to ensure the gaps were the same before installing all the plugs. I was wondering about the seal between the plugs and the heads. I did snug them 1/4 turn after hand tightening like Denso said to, but I wasn't able to clean the bores out as good as I would've wanted to. I mean I've never heard of anyone using starting fluid on our cars, but obviously its sold for a reason and along those lines I probably should get the seafoaming done and see if that helps improve anything.
Let me know if you resolve it though Mr Hubbell. |
