F4R Popping loudley on idle - Runs really badley

[Craigie-B]

Oh dear!

So I got my new leads and plugs through today, swapped them out and the inlet gasket didnt break so I just tightened the plenum down - I made sure I put the new leads in the same order that I took them out, this is a video:

This was the state of the plugs I took out:

I was changing them because the car didnt feel like it was running right before 6k - was properly hesitating and I thought it would be misfiring.


This has all started happening since I filled it up with Shell V power.

When I was running it on 95 octane fuel that was in the car it ran perfectly! I parked my car up - fuel light was on, went to go back out in it and it was idling and running like s**t then filled it with V power and it ran like a bag of s**t still.

Really need this car for tomorrow as I need to get home from uni!!

Cheers for any help!

Did you put the recommended NGK PFRE-6 spark plugs in?

 

[Craigie-B]

Yes I bought the plugs and leads from renault

 

[Dan@SJM]

Have you got the leads on in the right order?

 

[Craigie-B]

Yeah I double checked that as well :/

 

[Dan@SJM]

Double check them again, I can't view the video but from what your describing sounds like 2 leads are round the wrong way.

 

[Craigie-B]

Okay dan, will double check tomorrow thanks

FIXED IT

I took the leads and plugs off again and put them all back on taking care - it runs perfect now and revs SO MUCH more freely.

Thanks to all everyone for suggestions
