Now, here are the pestering nagging questions: Why would
relatively new plugs fail when given the total load? Why would both
plugs fail at the same
time? Is there something going on that
is being overlooked? Has anybody
else ever seen this happen?
(Ed/ Eddie, are you there?) Did this happen because I'm so close to
2R4?
Hey, don't try to lay
this on me :-) (2R4 is my home
airport)
The real test would be
to put the plugs back in, and see if it still fails. I would be worried
that there was a broken wire going to the coil. I'm not familiar with
the second gen coils, but I assume there's power, or ground, or something that
can take out the coil. I would run it briefly as is, and make sure it's
still OK, then put the plugs you just took out in, and run it again. I
would make every effort not to touch any wiring other than the plug
wires. If that's bad, I would put the new plugs back in, and try
again, still without touching any other wires. That test will give
you a pretty good idea if it's really the
plugs.
It does seem hard to
believe that the plugs could both be bad, unless maybe they missed you,
and died of loneliness :-)
BTW, I know you're
short on time in town, and I think I have one new set of plugs at the
hanger. If you need them, let me know and we can meet
somewhere.
Good
luck,
Rusty
