2000civic89

Hello, first time posting in a forum. I hope this is the right place to post this question. My girl has a 99 civic sedan dx. For the last month she has had a rough time starting it in the mornings and randomly throughout the day so I checked the plugs and all the electrodes were melted to the size of a pin so I replaced em all and checked underneath the dist. Cap and it was all rusted and corroded everywhere so I did some research and it seemed the bearing was bad and needing it fixed as soon as possible I just bought a new distributor, threw it in and timed it with a timing light. Seemed fine, ran great with no problems for the last couple weeks. Well she had a rough couple starts the last few days so I checked the plugs again and their starting to melt again... Not sure what could be causing this. Any help wound he greatly appreciated.

Post pics of the plug problem so the rest of us can see.

Ok I will when I get home from work.

Okay so it won't let me add in pics from my phone and when I try on the computer and load the pic it erases my message and says I need to add a message.

Bassicly what it looks like is a perfect V cut into the center of the electrode. All 4 look the same and I just put them in 2 weeks ago after I replaced the distributor.

Hope that helps unless I'm missing something on how to add pics. Never ran into anything like this on my 2000 civic that I've had for 6 years.

This site has been acting WRONG for a while now for some people (some mods already know about it). Post your pics to a pic hosting site (photobucket, tinypic, imageshack, etc.) and put links to the pics here in your message. ^^^NGK V-POWER plug^^^

They are made that way.

Yeah, to stray from the topic-I can't use any of the toolbar stuff such as quoting. However, it will still autolink and auto show pictures without using toolbar codes.

Add your name to the list. I've been whining about this and other issues for weeks now, and it's an absolute chore for me to make posts.

All of us mods know about the issues (posting, toolbars, etc) , as well as admins, and site owners. The techs are trying to figure out what's wrong so please be patient guys. I know it sucks, but we're doing everything we can.

You guys should get ban-hammer happy too. It seems there's an influx of 10 post count people posting "Great info. Nice pics" just to get their post count up. Profoundly annoying.

Thanks for the info

Seriously though. I saw that, was in process of typing out a warning PM, then life (read: gf) beckoned, and I had to put laptop away. Otherwise, most of y forum surfing is done via my phone. Doing high volume moderating isn't fun via iPhone.

BUT, as to not stray off topic, OP, upload to photobucket or imgur then use [img] (insert picture URL here) [/img] to post up pics. The forums attachment feature has sucked since I've started lurking here.
