They were just blackened evenly without deposits or charring. Some days the car will start first crank without me giving it any gas. And some mornings it will take a couple tries and maybe a small push on the throttle. It is somewhat dependent on outside temperature, but not exclusively. When the motor is cold, it shakes and does not like to be given gas as when you let off it will die, and before it will rev it sometimes stumbles and shakes. After the few minutes I give it to warm up every morning it will function normally. Today was much warmer, and it started first crank and idled as smooth as my former Acura. Oh my god was it hot in there due to my broken AC compressor, but I don't care because I'm in a DeLorean! I must get that fixed though. Thanks guys! payne #2975
