Had a weird experience yesterday. Was driving during the day and started to get a strange ignition problem - similar to what I've had before when a coil pack goes out. Figured that's what it was and that I'd fix it when I got home. Had a bit of a long drive and the problem worsened.
Got home pulled the first coil pack and plug and the plug's electrode and conductor were gone. I've actually had that happen once before about 5 years ago or so. Swapped out the plug and drove for a bit but the problem was still there. Swapped out the coil pack and no change. Went to plug #2 and it was black with the conductor bent down all the way over the electrode.
Weird - swapped out all the plugs and everything was fine.
What cause the issue with the first two plugs? Detonation? They were OEM Volvo turbo plugs, pretty new. Can't say that I'll be using them again.
Thoughts?
