color of sparkplug

[odie22]

iam have problmes with my crx, i have a fully built b20 vetc and i just put a head gasket on. the motor is 12:1/2 to 1 compresson and iam running 93 pump gas as of now. just put a new set of plugs in maybe a 2 days ago and i took the crx out for a 20 min ride and came back to check things out and check the plugs and they had a blue/purple tint to them what does this mean? to lean, maybe i need more spark or do i need to go to 110 vp race fuel

too much gas I would think...what injectors you running?

[odie22]

if it were too much gas would the plugs be black...
injectors are 440s

running octane boosters? denatured alcohol? or any other gas additives? that could cause the plug to turn colors...

[odie22]

iam just running pump gas. no additives. aslo when it get hot there is a little skip in the motor... when the motor cools off i can start it back up then its fine up till it gets some temp in the motor. could this be lack of spark like do i need to run a msd box? i just have never seen plugs that turn blue/purple it just seen to me that its getting too hot or something. and thank for all the help so far reps for the help

not too sure but wouldn't high compression do that anyways? what brand spark plug do you have?

what gap do you have the plugs at?>

[odie22]

first set was at 35 may be 37. this set i went to 44 that what the crv calls for. both sets were NGKs

silly question, but is it tuned yet? this could be the root of your problems. you can't just drop in a 12:1 on a stock ecu or basemap and everything be a-ok.

colder plugs
tune
done
