My old truck has not been running to good.


So as any normal thing to do is. Change out the spark plus and wires. Okay did that on Tuesday and still not running that good. Okay what is going on? I stopped by a old friend that has a garage. I have talked with him about a couple of problems I have had. He is such a good guy, willing to help any one. So I stopped by and thinking, I guess I will have him check this out. Now mean while I have been on You Tube and seeing all the different things it could be. Coil did come up. So as just asking him, he said try the coil. No problem, I ran down to Auto Zone and bought one. Got back home and put it in. Runs a lot better, but still driving at 45 to 50 mph. It is like running out of gas. Just will not run good at that speed at all. Okay Mr Rahlyn, what do you think? He got his tester out and put it in the computer. Number 2 is not firing correctly. He asked me to take the #2 plug out. Which I did and you can see below what the problem is. 


Now it is one of my old spark plugs. I do remember dropping the spark plug, but I know I looked at it. Rahlyn said maybe when I put the plug in I hit the exhaust manifold. I guess what it? Look and see the gap is closed off. There is no space in between. There is no way this will spark at all. Now like I said I am using this old plug to show you what happen. 
It is running fantastically. No more problems at all. Runs like top. 
I am so blessed to have friends like Rahlyn.
