yeah that's all the carbon build up, when the gas and air combust, it leaves carbon residue, and if you run that shitty *** arco gas it will do the same, all you need to do is run shell v power, and some gas treatment in your gas tank and that **** will clean it up and make your car run better, also if you use cheap *** oil, will do it too I only run mobile 1 oil it's race prov en, and it's what the use in formula one racing. it's the best

Should be carbon build-up. Get some SeaFoam and run it in the cylinders as the directions say. Should clean a bit off of them.
