im guessing 02 sensor, and timing have to do something with it. did u do any previous installs on your engine before hand or has your car always been running super dooper rich?

keep this up top....

my car keeps fouling plugs...... but then again, its boosted.




plugs look identical to that... NEW PLUGS after 100 miles BLACK
switched with different new plugs..... 10 miles..... BLACK.

i think its o2 also.

They seem to be fuel fouled. Running a bit too rich I think. Getting the o2 sensor replaced would be a good idea.

same thing was happening to my car after JRSC install.

new plugs, fuel filter, plug wires, cap, and rotor.

new plugs fouled after 100 miles.

put in another set, fouled after 10 miles.

pulled out the o2 sensor, and it was BLACK as the plugs.

just replaced it, only came inside to get my keys.

I will post if anything has changed.

well, 'used' o2 sensor (i wasnt sure if it worked)
old plugs..... (i knew they worked, they are the plugs i used when i was n/a: heat range 7)

and the car idles and runs a lot better.

good thing i get employee at honda... (ordered NEW o2, and new 20 new plugs, heat range 6)
