Angus has a Cylinder 6 misfire. Getting new plugs, wires, rotor, distributor cap, injector harness connectors. Finally getting to replacing power steering cog which has a nick in it. Replacing cracked y pipe and new denso O2 sensors.

Bit the bullet. Not cheap. The right thing to do for the next 300k miles.

They were all NGK. Looked like wierd arcing. Went in with Denso OEM. Yazaki #6 plug connector had separated from boot as well. Rotor and cap had some arcing also which are getting tossed and Yazaki OEM going in.

Definitely a different plug, not a weird burn.

Ya you have to remove throttle body, heater valve, wire harness mount so that you can get to that plug. Had to use a forceps to fish it out of the plug tube because spark plug socket would not latch on.
 
I highly recommend you look closely at your injector harness, and make sure it's tied up correctly at the factory tie points. My '95 80-series wore through the insulation of an injector ground wire, which then turned on injector #5 every time it shorted against the bracket nearby. I ended up replacing the whole harness, as I couldn't find the problem until the harness was upside down on the bench. Fixing the zip ties would have been a much easier solution! :doh:

Good luck with the rest of your repairs!

My buddy just had to deal with the exact same thing a month ago.

The extra work might be why there was a different plug.. A left over from another set?
 
Found some stuff that needed to be replaced while in there on Angus
