Why my 1990 ZR1 eating spark plugs..??
Welcome to the Forum :handshak:

A photo of an eaten spark plug would be informative :cheers:
Also.....what Brand/Number are the Spark Plugs that are being eaten?

I mean it feels like that car eating spark plugs..i have tested acdelco 41-602 and those works only few weeks then i tested acdelco platinum 41-913 and same thing. NGK BKR6E works about few months but then the car starts again misfire and hesitate. So that kind of problem i have with this Z..

And i'm sorry about my bad english..i'll try to do my best :neutral:

I would suggest that your fuel ratio (rich or lean) may be causing plug issues......and a photo of a plug would be of interest.

It would also be of interest how long this has been going on and if you changed some other component (added a new chip or using different gas for example) when this issue with plugs began.

Did your ZR-1 "not eat plugs" at some point :p

I am not a plug person and am not familiar with those plugs as I use NGK Iridium BKR5EIX

You English is fine :thumbsup:

Is this occurring in all cylinders?

This website has very good pictures of various spark plug conditions.

Post which one of the examples most closely match your sparkplugs. Then we can zero in on the root cause.

I hope that the "eating" is not detonation.

Also, 91 octane (US) fuel is required.
Note that octane measurements are different between the US and Europe.


Research Octane Number = RON
Motor Octane Number = MON

The European octane rating is RON, whereas the US octane rating is an average of (RON+MON)/2.

So, US octane of 91 ((RON+MON)/2) equals EU octane of 95 (Research Octane Number = RON).

Kippis!
