Not enough info yet...
What do the other plugs look like? Does the fouled plug have a gap? Hard to tell in picture. But, without any info... Compression test Ignition spark intensity test, color of spark across a 1/4" gap Try another plug Fuel tests, pressure, air leakage, maybe fuel quality (if old with alcohol in it). Injector spray pattern tests I agree with the Hawk, the lean plug would bug me. How long has it been in? When is the last time the car ran well? |
