Hey guys,
Yesterday my NX was running a little rough, which was odd. It sounded like it was missing, and was not accelerating like it usually does. felt like a civic dx.
anyway, i took out the plugs to inspect them because it sounded like it was backfiring/missing. I took the plugs out, cleaned them, reinstalled them, and she fired up and sounded better, no missing, and runs like she used to. I noticed something weird about the plugs, they are relatively new, have had them in for about 3500 miles, and they all of reddish streaks on the wire side of the plug, being relatively tan/brown on plug 1, a little darker on cyl. #2's plug, and gets worse with 3 and 4...the car is running fine, but what's up with these plugs and red streaks?
my wires have not been changed since i bought the car, i haven't had the cash flow...could it be that i need new wires? is this a prediction of future engine problems? what do these marks signify?
