I’ve been experiencing carbon fouling on my spark plugs lately. It seems like my engine isn’t performing as well. What are the recommendations for cleaning or replacing them?
Using a wire brush or a specialized cleaner can help clean fouled spark plugs. Sometimes, just replacing them is the best option if they’re heavily coated.
It’s crucial to keep the engine running at optimal temperatures. Regular oil changes and avoiding short trips can help prevent carbon buildup on spark plugs.
Sometimes, I feel like spark plugs are neglected too much. Regular inspection is key! It can save us from bigger engine problems down the line.
True! I like to keep my fuel system clean too, using a good fuel additive every now and then can make a difference!
I agree! When was the last time anyone here checked their spark plugs? I find it so important for overall engine performance!

Don’t get me started on spark plugs! Sometimes, it feels like they have a vendetta against my wallet. But replacing them regularly really does help with performance.
Ha! Right? It’s like they’re conspiring against us! But seriously, using the right grade of fuel can also prevent fouling.
What do you all think about using iridium spark plugs? I’ve heard they can lead to less fouling and longer life. Any thoughts?
I’ve had great experiences with iridium plugs! They really do seem to help with performance. Definitely worth considering.
