My 1984 Porsche 944-after replacement of spark plugs, engine hesitates. Any suggestions?

porsche parts


My son replaced my 4 spark plugs with new (and compatible) ones.

engine runs, but seems hesitant.

after rechecking everything, he remembered that while unscrewing one of the old spark plugs he saw that its ceramic was chipped, but didn’t make sure to see if the chip found was the whole or part of the missing chip.
other than that, all was done properly.
any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

    Check to see that plugs were gapped right then check and/or replace old plug wires. If you replace one (Plugs) it’s always wise to replace both. Because the plugs fouling out could have damaged your wires.

    It could be that some ceramic is in the clyinder, or it could be the timing because newer spark-plugs are made in China, and tend to be slightly off from the proper specifications. Maybe try a compression test, and see if the clyinder is slightly low? I’m not exactly sure because I can’t hear the engine myself, but if you feel strongly enough about the ceramic chip, the take the manifold and heads off, and examine all the clyinders.

    id recheck the electrode gap on the plugs first and check the ht lead conections. It also maybe sounds like a fuel mixture problem but if it ran ok before seems unlikley unless something has been inadvertantly knocked or adjusted

    Dirty fuel line or filter maybe!

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
