Default spark plugs fouled

ok so my car starts and then dies immediately. i pulled the spark plugs and they are fouled, but also along with that the terminal nuts also have a black residue on them what could be causing this?

i have a 1.8 liter ls motor

no other codes just that one. no oil just the carbon fouling. and the tops of the spark plugs where the spark plug wires connect to they were black

The plugs when i checked them werent gapped to .044 and one was gapped way more then .044. when i first put them in thats what i had gapped them too. the cap and rotor had white residue on the metal marts where the spark goes through. I will get those parts this weekend when im out of school
