spark Plugs causing overheating problems?
This is kind of weird but figured i'd mention it.
I did not notice my car overheating,( and now it just seems like it runs hot,)
Until i changed from the spark plugs that the computer at work calls for to a regular set of AC delco plugs. The computer calls for more expensive plugs, and i cant remember the numbers. but a guy i work with told me to put some AC Delco CR45ts plugs in it and that they would be cooler than what the guide calls for. ( since they say to go colder for running nitrous). I've not ran the nitrous on these colder plugs, but right after i changed to them the next day is when it started getting hot really fast. then overheating. and now it just warms up and runs betwn 215/220* at the T-stat housing with a 160 in it ( measured with a blue point laser themometer)
Could it be that the plugs are causing the problem some how?
