Default Fuel Fouled plugs?

Prior to removing teh motor of my car, i replaced the plugs with AC-Delco Platinums ( 56 bucks for 8 ). Whenever i removed the motor i pulled the plugs and noticed they were fouled. I cleaned out all liquids from the inside of the plug and used brake cleaner to ensure all contaminents were removed. The plugs look fine, and i realllllly dont wanna spend another $56 on plugs that i replaced 2 weeks ago. The car was ran four to five times for 15-20second intervals. ( maybe 2 minutes total on these plugs )


Question: Do i need new plugs, or should i be ok?

They're like $2-$3 each, now quit arguing with people, lol.
Just call an autoparts store and find out.
We will be waiting for your apologies.


P.S. - Just get the Platinum, not the Iridium.

$20 tops for NGK's. If u pay more than that your getting ripped off. Ur car will run just fine or better on the TR55's.

Any but O'rielys will probably be your best bet. 3951 is the stocking number on a TR55 they will go by.
