Question Can someone check my plugs I pulled? Pics.

When I changed my plugs they looked like this (the picture is mirrored to reflect the cylinder it came out of if you were looking at the engine from the front of the car):



The plugs from the two forward most cylinders on the passenger side look the most concerning. The car appears to be running just fine with the new plugs in.

I would go ahead and change the wires since the 2 on the left are brown on the outside. They are pretty dark which could mean you are running a bit rich

Is that carbon tracking on that plug on the bottom left? If it is you will need to replace that wire too with the new plug or it may start misfiring on that
cylinder, while your at it you might as well replace all eight wires so as not to have a problem in the future.

I replaced all the wires when I replaced the plugs. I was just a bit worried because those two on the passenger bank came out so nasty looking on both the inside and out side of the cylinder parts of the plug.

Looks normal. I'm sure you probably already put in new plugs but the other day I noticed rock auto has $4 per plug rebate on bosch fusion plugs. Max rebate is $32.

Just found this pic on my computer. I didn't think I had it.
