spark plugs, 20 hours old?

[Gotz Cb7]

Alright, update.

So, took all the plugs out. Turned it over a few times. For at least 6 seconds. Put all new plugs back in, it was fine. Drove about...110 miles last night, drove fine. Woke up earlier, went to drive home.....boom. Tries to stall out. Running like a Wrx again. Go to pull the #3 plug out, it's fine? #2's fine. #4's fine. This time, it's #1!! Changed the plug, did good on the way home for about 4 miles. Wrx again. Changed the plug again, 1 minute later.......Wrx. Finally, took the plug out, started the car, then turned it off. Put a new plug back in, ran fine for the rest of the 6 miles home. We're going to do a compression test right now, not sure how that would help. I'd check the timing, but that shit's so confusing.

Did a Compression test. #4 was 178. #3, 2, and 1 was 175. Not sure if the compression being good in all cylinders, can lessen down the possibilities of what it could be?

you really need to check timing its really easy to do. also have you checked engine codes?

i would check timing to man but i didn't think it will hit the spark plug on stock motor???

That's what I'm sayin'. I checked the codes, and there's nothing. CEL hasn't come on during this issue, but I checked the codes anyway and it's clear. It does take a bit to start up when it's sat over night. Today it was 60 degrees out, and it took at least 4-5 seconds to start. I heard that could be a timing issue, also. I just have no idea how the timing being off a bit, is literally power bombing a plug.

I checked all the gaps on the plugs today, they're all set at .44. My neighbor has a timing light, but when I check inside the block where it's at, I don't see any marks on the drive plate except for a blank spot. This is what I was checking out.

is the belt loose

Damn, this is really an odd one...do all of the plugs you are using have the washer?

didn't think they cam off it might be a defect from the factory but he has changed them again and again and the problem is still there

[Gotz Cb7]

I don't think so. I got the belts changed and stuff right before the engine was dropped. I mean, I know that doesn't mean they aren't loose, but if they were loose, it'd probably be a lot worse than it is. If the timing was that bad, wouldn't the car spit and sputter at all times? There's times (like right now), that the car runs like a champ. No problems at all. But out of freakin' nowhere, it goes from full power coasting to jumping, sputtering, shaking, no power.

The #3 plug, slowly went bad. This #1 plug, is going straight to foul. It doesn't give a spit here and there, like #3. #3's fine now. Now, #1 fouls right out. I'm on my way to my buddies house to check the timing, so hopefully that's the problem. Also, my distributor is all the way retarded. I can only Advance it, so hopefully that's what would need to be done. Maybe he has some knowledge on setting the timing.

Yea, we checked the gap on all 4 before we put them in this time. They're all at .44, but I haven't driven it yet. It's only idled, but it was idling perfect.
