05 Vector Starting Problem

[yamadooski]

We have an 05 Vector and Rage. The Rage starts just fine after weeks of sitting but the Vector almost always fouls at least one if not all the plugs before we can get it warmed up. Any suggestions on what might be the problem?
I've read about changing plugs to a cooler one but don't know if this will solve the issue.

Explain how you are starting the Vector. Below is how I start my Vector and have never fouled a plug:

1. Open enrichner (choke) all the way

2. Crank engine

3. As soon as it starts, start backing down the Choke slowly, you should have the choke fully off with in 30 seconds

4. Sled should idle, let it warm up, then have fun!


If you leave the choke on while warm up or do alot of start ups just so you can here it run, you will foul plugs.

and a cooler pulg will make the problem worse... you could put in the irridium plugs (just addd IX to the parts # eg. cr8EIX)

They have a more intense spark, resist fouling and out perform and out last conventional plugs.
Just my 2cents

I Never fouled a plug on my RX or Apex but did on my Vector very terpermental to the choke.
