how can you tell if a plug is 'fouled out'
1. how can you tell if a plug is 'fouled out' w/o actually checking them? id like to know before i have to pull my plugs and find out that way
2. if there is no way of telling that its 'fouled out' by not looking at the plugs how can i tell they are when i look at the plugs, what do i look for?

Basically what you're going to feel is hesitation and the idle is going to suck....i'm actually waiting on a set of plugs right now. My idle is so bad that i have to left foot brake and keep the right foot on the gas or my car will stall....

The time it took you to post this thread you could have pulled your plugs.
They will be black as dirt and/or wet from fuel. The car will also run crappy... especially at idle... if it even starts.

Plugs will be jet black and would have a wet look to them. if you really have let it go on for a while then ive seen buildup in the plug gap.
caused by running rich. poor ignition tuning. If i were you id get a wideband and go and tune your fuel at least.
