Need help.....fouling 1 plug???? I went to Milan to run the car last night. Well the car seemed to be running ok so I went to change over to nitrous mode. When I got to plug #1,it looked like it was in there for 30 years. I changed it again and made a couple more runs and it got black and wet. I swapped the coil pack and plug wire, the problem remained. I think that it might be a stuck fuel injector, but was wondering if anyone would have any other suggestions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Thanks,

Re: Need help.....fouling 1 plug???? Easy check. Lift the fuel rail, swap that injectors with another and see if the problem follows the injector around <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> That will tell you if the physical injector itself has a problem.

Re: Need help.....fouling 1 plug???? Thanks Chris,
That was actually going to be the next experiment, tonight. I was just checking to see if there might be something else that I might be overlooking.

Re: Need help.....fouling 1 plug???? Isn't #1 supposed to be the cylinder that's
overbored in cars with the oil consumption
"non-problem"?
Once it's fouled, of course, it just gets
worse with misfire products.
You could check that there's no issue with
spark, just to be sure.
