Tried to search but came up empty.Mine I think are trashed on my truck but is there a way to tell for sure?My engine is flooded and trying to unflood it with these plugs is not as easy as it used to be.Plus I need the truck running full 13b power again by next week.



Thanks,

Luis

forgot to mention that they are already 2 years old if that helps.I think they are the culprit tho.Its been 4 months since I last drove it and now it wants to flood easily.

When in doubt, change them. They're cheap, and easy to get to. I've heard once a year or every 15k miles, and that sounds reasonable to me.

the original interval was 30k miles. but if you're driving it hard, then 15k is prolly better. and then if something happens, like its flooded, then they should just be changed
