Help with codes please!! (Im Stage 3) X-Post
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19251/black_and_white_a4.jpg"></center><p>I have been having missfires...
threw these codes:
16684
16685
16686
16688
it was heavily missfiring in Cylinder 4, so I switched the coilpack and boot, and initially it caused cylinder one to missfire, but then four started up again under wot.....Im guessing this means sparkplugs? (that would be a nice cheap fix!)
oh, Im stage 3 btw!
TIA

I think its fixed! Changed the plugs (IK22's) and everything is fine!
Asked for the PFR7B's at Tunerworks, and was almost laughed at for that choice, as apparently they are made for longevity, not performance...so went with the Denso's. Car hasnt run this good for a while! Well spent $75.00! (18 each, not super cheap!)

I'm glad they work for you, but i am not willing to cheap out on something that is fairly crucial
If they do work the same as other high performance plugs thats great, but you do get what you pay for!

You can get either the IK 22s or the NGKs online at sparkplugs.com for under 12.00 each.
I've found the NGKs perform every bit as well as the IKs but last over twice as long ...
Does that shop carry the PFRs or were they scoffing to 'make a sale'?

I had the bk7re, or bk6re can't remember, but in my running rich fase switched
to the autolites and they have been working fine. I may switch to the bk7re and see if there is a difference.
