Gunky Sparkplugs
 
Ok so ive had my sparkplugs in for about a week, then possibly flooded my engine so i pulled them back out, the 2 on bottom (leading) i think, just have a bit of gas on them nothing serious, expected right? but the two on top (trailing) are like black oily and gunky could this be el problemo? if so how do i fix it? im in the middle of this now so a quick response would be great.

i dont have a pic but they weren't as gunky, and they had the legendary white spots...so i did the de-flood remove the plugs thing, which all goes to $#@# if you turn around and re flood the sonofa buck while trying to start it up! FML feel free to laugh so its not a stupid mistake wasted...someone should get to laugh cause im not! lol mabe

so the de flood method (pulling the spark plugs) works just got done and it runs better than before, not goanna lie the way i was driving you would think i just got my first sports car it was a blast... any way the first time i got it up around 7k it like cut out but never did it again, im telling myself it was just the nastyness leaving...could that be a problem?

Once you get the car running properly, plugs tend to be self-cleaning. Though really heavy deposits can fuse under high heat. If it's running ok, then I think you're past it.

You never seen it before?

the original ones have no gap on the side. looks just like the trailing plug.
