You're going to need to post up more information. How are your spark plugs (I'm assuming that's what you mean when you say 'plugs').

Have you taken them out? Are any of them miscolored?

Are all the plugs black? Or just certain ones?

Replace the plugs ASAP.

Is the black soot on them just dry and sooty or does it have an oily soot to it?

That happens in my Accord when I have gas left in there and I'm filling up. I never think twice about it.

Did your engine just start suddenly doing this, or was it after a certain event?

How many miles on the cap, rotor, plugs and wires? Did this problem just come out of no where or has it been an ongoing problem for awhile?

OK, got home, wiped dry my plugs from the fuel....tested all 4 wires w/ plugs grounded to chasis, all had sparks..

car started up for 5 seconds and dies..

took out plugs again, and plugs were a bit moist w/ fuel...

hence plugs are shutting off spark since too much fuel spraying in..

anyone know why??? please help, i called my mechanic and he said could be sensor, timing or injectors...can anyone confirm??
