Default engine miss...help me read plugs!

Running a little rough around town. Engine kept stalling when I'd come to a complete stop. Pulled the plugs and this is what I found.



What do you think...I'm new to the "tuning" thing.....maybe pull some timing or add fuel?

you might of broke pieces of your piston off and hit the spark plugs causing that one to be broken, exactly what my plug looked like when I did that.

repetitive watching of fast and the furious on your in car ice has overloaded your electrical system, causing you to mess up the injector pulses, run lean and detonate.

I called Autozone to get new plugs...they said they're special order only
Should I spray'em with some brake cleaner and put'em back in?

Actually it looks like a combination of running lean, and braking too hard. I've noticed a lot of times that when I brake really hard, my car tends to miss and stutter some. It's pretty noticable. I think it's the same with yours apparently. I havent found a fix yet though. I tried putting stiffer springs in the front, but it didnt really help. Best of luck to you.
