Pointy spark plugswayaboveme 07-13-2009, 01:03 PM Hi, Am performing tune-up on my 2000 Yukon. Already changed the plugs/wires, PCV, checked EGR valve and replaced air filter. On the plugs, they (AC Delco plats in there about 30K miles), they are worn down to a very pointy nub. My book says they may not be the right heat range or maybe there is debris flying around but I doubt that. The insulator is ash white. Put in new Bosch plats. THoughts? Still to do: Replace all 4 O2 sensors. Any hints on this? Replace fuel filter. Book calls for me to release the fuel pressure and use a hose, etc. Do I have to do this? THanks! maxwedge 07-14-2009, 07:05 AM AC plats do have a narrow diameter center electrode, no sure what yours looked like but I would not use Bosch in that truck. You can pull the fuel pump fuse and run the engien till it quits to relieve most of the pressure. markdpro 07-14-2009, 09:29 PM Hi, Am performing tune-up on my 2000 Yukon.

If they were platinum plugs, the gap might be ok even if there is significant wear on the centre electrode. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
