Default fouled plugs on driver side

all 4 plugs on the driver side on my 02 ss. passenger side looks brand new. car will not crank what so ever. it has 60# injectors in it as of now and its tuned for nitrous. car was running 2wks ago when it was loaded on the trailer but hasn't started since it was turned off after loading it. any ideas what the problem could be?

i've been told o2 sensors, bad rings, and header gasket leak so far......any other suggestions

O2 sensors will not cause the car not to start..actually they wont function till after they heat up so it cant be it also header gasket has nothing to do with car running or not too its just a leak...i would start with fuel reading first. check fuel pressure, fuel filter and injector function if all are okay then id check crank sensor too. good luck.

Was this car owned by you, before it was loaded on the trailer?

I would say O2 sensor would foul the plugs, but it should still cold start.

Did you check the voltage on the injectors? Check the coil packs?

Header gaskets would never prevent a car from starting.

Did you work on the car recently? Maybe pop a vacuum line off? Any SES lights??

Was it tuned for the injectors or did you mean they were recently installed?

it has a brand new cam sensor and it has plenty of fuel pressure. was not my car before it was loaded up and it still isnt my car, it belongs to a buddy of mine. To my understanding it was tuned for the injectors that's in it. it was initially tuned N/A and recently retuned for nitrous. with that being said i figured it running richer may be the cause but that doesn't make sense for only one side to foul out.
