Here are the codes my car was showing on my cheap wireless OBD scanner before I bought it. I only scanned with with that scanner at the time because I didn't have my STAR system with me.
and here's what my plugs looked like
I immediately threw those trash plugs away and put in new ones. Just like magic, the misfire codes never came back (After clearing them properly with STAR)
What I don't get is why you would go through all the trouble to remove the coils and plugs and not install new ones, regardless of the old plugs condition. It cost me about $50 for all new plugs. Why not just do them?
I dropped cylinder 1s plug. Threw a misfire in that cylinder. Back to the parts store
You better check your checkbook balance. Remember that you don't have $150 to spend on a scan, so you likely can't afford plugs and/or coils. Although with your math skills, I'm sure money will magically appear in your account.
Omg, it purrs so flawlesslyyy!!! Aahahaha!!!! Tranny is butter smooth too!! Aaahaha!!
Did you change your transmission fluid? I thought it had to be done since the car was sitting for 4 months and if driven, the transmission would self destruct

Here are spark plugs from Cylinder #1, #2, #5, #6 in that order.
The plugs look in good condition. They are NGK R(with Mercedes Symbols) so he had the car serviced. Is it not that the stock plugs are bosch? If so then he had the service done at MB.
Uhh, no. The plugs look awful. You should go buy a total of 8 while you're getting the one plug for #1.
Steering wheel is nice to look at and the fridge will hold the food he needs when the sparks fail and he's sitting on the side of the road...
Lets make sure our priorities are in the right order as Mike suggested ! sheesh...follow the thread
Yes, I would agree. The E38 is a legend in my book, save for the Nikasil engine cylinder lining problems. I always think of Jason Statham in the first Transporter movie when I see that car. That dude was a bad a$$.
That's my favorite 7 series as well. I saw a guy in Long Island years ago who had one in the very hard to find manual transmission.
I never drove one. They are so cheap now but.....I don't think it would be the same now. The newer 7 series never did anything for me. Strangely enough i didn't care for the S class of that era until the refresh of 2010. A friend of mine bought a new S class back in 05' and I didn't care for it at all. I hated the interior.
Never put a spark plug that you dropped back into an engine. While it may look fine the ceramic insulator could be cracked and can destroy that piston/cylinder/valves in no time. On aircraft engines we are paranoid enough that we even use spark plug holders when outside the engine.
Sorry. I didn't have my glasses. Let me look again. No, that's not Benz's car because it actually has a rear end.
OMG.....now I'm so confused!! My time in this thread is turning me into a dumbass. Make some room for me Benzs55. I had a feeling it would happen eventually.
My IQ dropped so many points so fast from this thread I got an invitation from Russia to immigrate.
I used to be a member of MENSA. But apparently another member caught wind of me participating in this thread and told some of the other members. I received a letter in the mail the other day from them telling me I've been kicked out of the group because I've "violated the terms of membership by not relenting from trying to help somebody with a limited IQ who just wanted to remain 'dumb'". I guess they didn't see the good in making a noble effort to try and help somebody, no matter how stupid.
The following day I got an invite to join DENSA. I should have just started smoking crack instead of participating in this thread. I'd be so much smarter.
