Default Look at my v10 spark plugs please..

The socket is forward so the plug on the left are the passenger side bank 2-4-6-8-10. Note they ate all black while the driver side bank of plugs are not.

Got a p0174 code as well. Changed plugs, wires, map sensor, pcv last night. Checked vacuumed lines with brake cleaner and looked good, no leaks

This all started bc my gas mileage, a solid 9mpg dropped to four and she ran like crap, exhaust smelled like a 72 Nova, missing.

Oh, fuel pressure at 46-48

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys.

John.

Do you have two front O2 sensors in there? (one for each bank?) If so, replace the passenger side sensor.

I agree, pass side O2 sensor isn't sending proper info. Since you're doing one, might as well do both.
