Bosch W6DPO is the stock plug yeah $13-15 each

(ouch - can replace entire NGK set 4 times for that)

Aye but the Bosch one last 4-5 times longer!!

 

exactly :thumb right: and when you pull the plugs every few weeks to check their condition and rich/lean condition of your setup they take quite well to a once-over with a wire-brush and good as new!

ok today got new plugs........but they didnt have any vacume line how do i know...the vacume line they just sold me yesterday was washerfluid line and cant hold up without collapsing.....I dont know who is dummer...me for buying it or them for selling it..2 bucks...drained...hosers.....ok

back to plugs.....no ngk...but auto lite platnum...app63 with a .026 gap...vw..dealer said he recomends them...hope he is right... :shock:

ok....changed plugs and vacume line...still have same problem....my plugs were all wet smelled like fuel...and were black........also.......is there sappose to be a wire hooked next to my distributor....blue maybe??

 

i held my maf and someone said it should vibrate....hmmm...it didnt seem to do anything....does it always vibrate........

checked thing on front of engine with wire comming from it...looks good

does anyone know how to adjust timing and fuel into the throttle body...Where the screw is....

oh..and if anyone has a copy of the cd manual for this car...could i get a copy??

 

thanks

Ok you need to get 3/16" th's vacuum hose all sorts of places sell it but it is best to get the overbraided stuff alot of diesels use the 3/16th's hose for things like spill off on the injectors go into your local mtor store or motor factors and ask for it you should be able to get hold of it no problem

ok changed vacume lines to oem lengths and clamped with oem clamps....still running bad........put new plugs in and set gap to .28 as they recomended......still running bad.....now if i unplug my blue sensor car just stalls out......????could this be from the isv rerought or is something else going on..........i cleaned all my grounds today and ecu ground...still the same......im thinking of lighter fliud and a match ......haha...no kiding love my german rocket...

 

cool news though...since ive had my car only seen one other corrado.....well today i saw anotherone....a 91 g60 like mine but completly built sweet...god i love this car....oh and the guy works in the same building as me...note on the car...please help other 91 g60 owner ......

I'm confused.

Can anyone explain why the length of vacuum hose to the ECU seems so critical?

 

I just don't get it...

Assuming there is no collapsing of the hose to block it under vacuum, no balooning of the hose under pressure, no leaks along it's length and no leaks at the connections, it shouldn't matter what length the hose is.

The hose could be 1" long, 30cm long, 1m long or 3 miles long...as long as the hose it suitable and connected properly meeting the criteria above, the pressure within the hose - be it positive pressure or negative pressure - will be constant throughout it's length.

 

OK, with a 3 mile long hose there may be a slight lag in the reading...but the difference between 30cm and 1m...come on! I just don't get it.

 

This isn't rocket science....so can someone please explain to my simple engineering brain why basic physics doesn't seem to apply to VW Corrado vacuum connections?

It sounds to me like the ignition timing is to far advanced so you could try retarding it a little and if not then it might be worth checking the knock sensor.

ok...timing...hmmm.....is that something i can check myself.....

knocksensor...is good and cable thingy...

3bar aka ron from rochester happens to be the guy with the awsome car at my work....nice c man...oh he also thought it sounds like my o2 sensor...

 

if anyone knows of a chep yet good downpipe back exaust...no cat please let me know...
