Haha I know what ya mean my I phone does the same thing on here. Thanks for the reply I will have to look into that cause I just changed my primary oil and that plug had plenty of shavings I thought on it. So gonna diffently look into that. So just so I'm on the same page it's inside the clutch side cover? Or on the outside of the motor on that side or am I way off ?

Before you go tearing things apart, have you checked for DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) ??

The plugs are a good idea, cheap east thing to do, Also you might want to try to take off the X14ied's for a bit and see if the issue is still there, they could be shorting out??? just a thought.
