Default Why do my spark plugs keep fouling out?

Whats the deal...My spark plugs foul out about ever 1500 miles? Does that sound right?

There are few factors that could lead up to your plugs fouling. Running too rich, plugs that are too cold and even bad valve stem seals.

Cheap plugs will do it too...

Use NGK Or Denso iridiums, they will last forever (it seems) just take them out and clean them if they get dirty.
