Okay, I am not real familiar with the e3 spark plugs but assuming they are not shorted out I doubt if they are the problem. However, do make sure that they are the right type of plug for your ignition system.

The CAI is another story. When you replaced the factory system, you moved the MAP sensor to the new pipe. I am hoping that you treated it and its wiring gently as the sensor itself is a rather expensive part to replace. Any chance that if might have been damaged or gotten dirty? If so either a replacement or cleaning might be in order. Make sure to only use special MAP sensor cleaning fluid as brake cleaner or carb cleaner can damage them.Check the wiring connector and make sure it is clean and tight.

Let me know what you find and if this does not get you running we can do some additional research.

2002 Chevy Silverado Z71 4.6 4x4 step side. Why does my oil pressure gauge rev up when I rev the motor in park.

Because revving the motor makes the oil pump spin faster and therefore increases pressure. It should be stable and within specs when you are at cruising speed.

Why would installing a K & N CAI kit cause check engine light to come on

Po113 is the air temp code it was not transferred from old air cleaner po102 is a air flow code set from over oiling the new filter. the engine still will never rev over 3,000 rpms due built in rev limiter to stop over reving with no load.

There is a misfire in my engine, changed plugs & wires. now it reads that the fuel leveling sensor is bad, will this help?

If there is a misfire, the cylinder that it is misfiring in will be recorded as a code in the computer.

Have the car scanned to determine which cylinder is bad. Then, replace the coil pack going to that cylinder.

SPARK PLUG INSTALLATION ON 2006 DODGE CHARGER 2.7L

In my experience with the 2.7L engine, the spark plugs are located on the top of the engine below the individual ignition coils. The coils are placed between the intake manifold and the valve covers, 3 per side. The coils are held in with "torx" screws. Simply remove the screws, and disconnect the connectors to remove the coils. The spark plugs will be underneath. Be sure to properly gap the spark plugs for maximum life and emissions compliance. Also, an improperly gapped plug can shorten the life of the coil packs.
Hope this helps!
