What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Fless]

CEL came on Saturday. Truck had new ACD 41-110s gaped at .040, new tsp wires less than 90 days ago. Probably 6-7k miles now. I bought a new ACD coil day before and seemed ok but CEL came back on. Tonight I pulled the plug and installed a new 41-110 @ same gap.

Any thoughts on old plug?? Looks fine to me based on my research online. Only code present is a P0302

Since those are double iridium plugs, can you show us the ground electrode? Any chance it was damaged when it was gapped?

Had a great morning at the junkyard. New glass. Also new tires delivered today going to drop them off to get mounted on my silverado takeoff wheels. Very exciting

Gapped it with a feeler gauge and the flower looking tool that allows u to open up the plug without touching the electrode. I don't gap plugs with the "coin" style tool. Plug is at home I will send pics when I get home thought just in case.

Hopefully, you just verified the existing gap. They come pre-gapped at .040" and attempts to change may damage the electrode.

This is true. Feeler gauge confirmed gap was on point.

Never trust pre-gapped plugs as being accurate. Sure, I trust they are accurately gapped at the factory.
But things happen in transit...

Last batch I bought had one that was almost closed in in itself!

I have seen people at the parts store ask to look at plugs before deciding if they want to buy them. Then, see the plug go flying out of their hands and bounce off the counter before the clerk stuffs it back in the box and returns it to the back room.

Since then, I always gap them myself. Even if they claim to be pre-gapped.

My luck ran out and I done f**d up. When going to clean my glass I thought it was a genius idea to remove the handle/striker plate since it was so rusty.
Snapped a bolt.
Not sure if I can source a replacement handle.

Edit: this looks like the same exact part, it is worth a shot

I worked with a guy and on his 66 coronet he added an extra ignition switch in place of the cigarette lighter. He cut the key down and put the lighter handle on the end. So he had to turn the lighter knob 1st then the ignition key.

I did sort of the same thing years ago (‘69 Plymouth) using the lighter to ground out the ignition. It needed to be depressed to kill the circuit. It would start with the lighter in the normal “out” position.

Washed both trucks today, it’s warm and sunny outside.
