They go in order. The left group of three is the back plugs. Left would be left in car, right would be right (closest to TB),
Right group is the fronts, same order

Absolutely. In fact, this very problem with the design was discussed when the idea was first proposed. I would suggest returning the insert to it'* OEM condition until you get the problems sorted out. Then try it again later when the car is running correctly.

Install 6 new plugs at that time.

(in the meantime, learn how to use macro mode on your camera, or borrow one that can)

I did plugs tonight and the car runs much better. If i roll into the throttle no KR, if i floor it i still see KR. So tomorrow i am going to switch back to the OEM runners and see if that helps.

Its a cheap camera and almost never has any problems but it could not pick up those plugs for anything lol

If it has a macro mode, use that. Its usually a flower symbol.

I think that the L36 #6 cylinder runs lean even with the stock UIM insert. I believe this because:
1) of some conversation I had with 95naSTA some time ago about how air enters the UIM
2) all four sets of broken plastic LIM gaskets I've replaced looked worst at the #6 cylinder
3) every #6 spark plug I've looked at on these engines (with a stock PCM tune) is slightly whiter than the others

TJ, you got PM

I dunno what is causing the KR but i am going to contiue to pluck away at things and try to pin point it and i will keep updating it. Tomorrow (hopefully) is HV3, and injectors.


Anyone have any other ideas that i can check?

Have you watched your MAF voltage when your getting KR?

Your points have very little to do with his massive case of KR. The source needs to be found. This particular case is not a simple matter of a slight variance in UIM runner flow.
