More information...<div>Hey, guys. Thanks for all of the tips. I have taken into consideration the clunk line being busted. However, I ran the engine earlier today and experimented with the glow igniter. The engine runs fine with the igniter in and i can idle the plane now until the tank runs out of gas (without the igniter). But after taking out the igniter, the engine returns to it's former self. If it is a common problem with EVO's, then there is a way to fix it......right?</div><div>

If the engine runs fine with the glow igniter attached but won't run reliably without it, this is the classic indicator of a bad glow plug. The plug can't maintain enough heat on its own to maintain combustion.

A fresh O.S. A3 plug may be all you need to get your .46 NX running like a champ.
