I guess I didn't tighten down the plug enough?

Cylinder 1 and 2 coils look like this Car runs ok, small intermittent stutter at idle but fine otherwise. I just replaced the plugs but if the old ones were not tight enough they were like than for 50k miles. Just did a valve lash adjustment... Exhaust was all too tight. 3 and 4 still look brand new. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...f6a6a338a8.jpg |
What torque number did you tighten them to?

Clearly perhaps I underestimated aluminum |
Torque spec is only 13ft lb. Most likely the coils are failing. My coils looked similar when my Fit developed a mis-fire.

Ive seen people quoting 20ft lb but I couldn't find any official documentation (at least that I can access). I did find this TSB for the 08 accords that mentions 16ft lbs and thats what I went with (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...42434-9999.pdf) page 13.
I would first try replacing the boots of the coils (part number NGK 59024) and cleaning the bottom of the coils. Some videos on youtube show this whole procedure. |

The plugs I pulled all looked the same and honestly looked fine, but I hope I'll never have to do anything with them every again having replaced with NGK iridium at 177k https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...d4c63bff57.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...2d5bb34dbe.jpg |
