Spark plug NGK or BERU
Pick up some genuine Audi R8 Red-Top coils (not kidding, much lower failure rate) and some fresh NGK Iridium spark plugs.
I had this very same problem where on my 07 V6 the acceleration and power was off. I had replaced my spark plugs with NGK Iridium plugs and after dealing with the horrible performance I decided to change them out for OEM platinum (copper) plugs. This made a huge difference and could immediately tell a night and day difference. Regained the torque and power that was missing.
I've run the NGK ruthenium in my sierra with the 6.2 and they ran great but I notice they aren't the right gap.
You use a **NGK BR2LM.**
I’ve been running NGK Ruthenium for a year now with 0 problems. Supposedly they last longer and are more stable with less dispersion according to NGK. Going to stick with them instead of Iridium or Platinum.
I have ngk spark plugs and I went with z1 high ignition coils
if you don't want to pay for VW boxes, NGK ruethiums are a killer deal on rock auto, I've run 2 sets through out alltrack without a hiccup, about 60K total.
I do NGK 6510 one step colder. I do 0.025”-0.026” gap. I had a shop do my last set since I didn’t trust myself. He accidentally did 0.022” and I put them in and they’ve been fine. The other set is 0.018” and idk if ima put them in. Gotta change the one step colder NGK’s at around 15-20k miles. I usually change mine when I start seeing high spark retard. I’m BT 93/E40 with aux.
Get rid of those ASAP. These are prone to breaking their ground straps. Myself and many many others have fell victim to this.
My brand new out-the-box WEN 3500 would barely start until I tossed the Torch and replaced it with an NGK. It now runs as designed. Too many others have had similar issues and that's why Torch is widely regarded as junk.
