Gsab Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Did you take your car to Doc`s for tuning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Is it running on ethanol? Melted electrodes is often a symptom of preignition, possibly too lean or the plug is too hot. Alcohol fuels tend to be more prone to it than petrol based fuels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that 2 different plugs that has melted on different occasions? You need to get it sorted ASAP, you will damage the engine quickly if you carry on like that.

Stevieturbo Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Given the severity of plug damage, I would be very surprised if the engine is not already hurt. Find a competent tuner before they cost you a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
