- 2001 VX Berlina Supercharged 3.8
I bought a VX super6 Berlina about 4 months ago from a guy who had owned it since new with log book history. Until recently the car has run perfectly. So far I've done:
10psileads, by mace
Cold air intake by mace
Cat back exhaust
Memcal from mace
Shift kit
For the last few weeks I've noticed that the car has started hesitating/missing under acceleration. I had the filterschanged today, and the plugs and leads, which has fixed the problem. But now I'm a bit worried because, while the oil was still in good condition, the iridium plugs that were in their don't look too good. According to The previous owner, the plugs are around 30,000kms old. I've taken some pictures of the plugs I took out and one of them looks pretty bad (the mechanic didn't tell me which cylinder each one came from).
Could anyone tell me what might be wrong by looking at the pictures? I'm hoping its nothing too bad. Thanks.
This is the one with carbon (?) deposits
