I was driving today and my car got really hot and lost alot of power and ran really bad. I got to my friends house and started inspecting things. I removed the spark plugs and the ones in the #3,4 cylinders the ceramic electrode was broken on them. I put some more plugs in them and drove home,its about 15 miles, and when i drove in the driveway it started doing the same thing. I checked the plugs again and this time the #2 plug was broken. I am assuming that this is DETONATION. I cant hear it knocking but my car is really loud mith the setup that I have. Theh plugs that I am using are Bosch double plats. I know that this might be the problem but its all I can get here right now. The motorcrafts are on the way but that is irrevelant. What could be casuing the deto? The fuel isnt the greatest here but I put in octance booster and I hve not had any problems before. I am running a custom diablo chip but I have never had any problems before with a basic chip. Is my ignition not up to snuff? It is stock except for motorsport wires. Should I take out th echip and run it without it? I am totally baffled here. Help me out please. thanks
