I've been getting an annoying "service charging system" warning lately, turns out my car doesn't like the 1 step colder plugs I've been running. Installing new stock plugs tomorrow, hopefully it makes the car run a little better.

Still debating if I can race on Saturday, I have to work a bunch on Friday night and Saturday, hopefully I can still go and beat my previous time.

Hmm, What do the spark plugs have to do with the charging system?

[asshanson]

They send off a weird signal I guess. If you look at the vette forums there is plenty of info on how the NGK TR6 copper plugs give off a weird pulse that messes with the computer. Stupid new cars and their high tech computers.

Unfortunately I couldn't race today because I had to work until 6am this morning. Work FTL.

Edit: got the TR5's installed, and the car runs great! Feels like it pulls a little better, and overall driveability seems slightly improved. Also no more service charging system warnings at every stoplight which is awesome.

Turns out new stuff is pretty touchy compared to some junky ford crap! lol.

glad you figured it out.

Evos hate anything but stock plugs too.

Well it's been a few weeks and still no "Service Charging System" warning so it looks like the plugs did the trick.

I bought an almost brand new (500 miles) z51 shock/spring package from a newer vette that will bolt right onto the car. They will be shipping Friday so I should have them next week sometime, and I plan to install them before the cruise and the HPDE event on Oct 3rd at BIR. It's going to be a crazy fun three days of driving in a row.
