Default How to tell when your plugs are fouled out

Just wanted to know how to tell when your plugs are fouled out when driving. Does the car start up and idle like normal? How does it drive during part throttle and full throttle? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Could pulled 4 plugs probably by the time you went inside to write the post.

Fouling of the plugs inhibits their ability to produce spark. How it runs depends on how many are fouled and how much their are fouled.

The car will run as though this is happening. Hard start, no start, poor MPG, low power, slight miss, runs funny.
