Spark plugs

Post by Newboy1946 » Thu Jul 28, 2022 7:55 pm

Decided to change my spark plugs today on my E89 2.3 2011 put in NGK Laser Platinum 5987 as recommended by Autodoc with preset gaps
Now it’s running like a bag of spanner’s with the engine warning light on 😳😳

Double check you’ve reconnected the coils correctly, it’s probably something you’ve done but you may have a faulty plug.
I’ve recently changed a lambda sensor on our yeti with a Bosch oem replacement & it was faulty from new :roll:

Rob’s suggestions are good ones.. :thumbsup:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
