They look ok to me.  You don't need to adjust the new plugs as they are a dual-electrode design, just need fitting thats all. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

yup, just a bit of copper grease on the threads and tighten as shown on the box the old ones look pretty good, one or two were a bit grubby before I changed the gasket etc. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

This has sorted the misfire in high revs..What are tell tell signs of la faulty ambda sensor? I get, boggy hesitant acceleration under 2k revs, poor idle and wants to cut out, not as much of a smooth powerband. Seems more rough and lumpy? Also feels down on power. Tends to do it more when warm. ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

Tends to do it more when warm. They are the exact symptoms. Phew! All sorted come tomorrow afternoon! New lamda sensor fitted.its a lot better but still occasionally runs hesitant and jolty between 1000-2000 revs. Also replaced spark plugs,coolant temp sensor,icv,tps and map sensor. I have a seller later and kinda need to know what it is.plugged the car into diagnostics and it all checked out,not a single fault code.. Doesn't misfire, more feels like over fuelling and only after a long (hard) drive.. ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

it does leak so it could be leaving an airlock in the cooling system confusing the temp sensor.can;t think what else it could be IF the sensors were tested and known good. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Try changing the power steering sensor bud - it sounds silly but I have seen them cause all sorts of funny running issues |

Well done on the sale, it probably wasn't what you wanted to do but I know you had problem after problem with it in the short space of time you owned it.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
