If you have been washing your engine, perhaps some water seeped into the spark plug hole.

It's happened to me before..

Did you ever wash the engine or hit big puddles?

dont worry about it. water got onto the engine (probably at the dealer, most of em pressure wash the cars engines) i had an "extreme" hood before my c/f one, and it had 2 center vents in it. when it rained, it would leak water into the spark plug boots and make it run like crap. you just fixed the problem, so dont worry about it anymore. also i might go ahead and get some new wires. i recommend top of the line NGKs.

sometimes your fuel wil contain water in it as well... So I wouldn't worry much about it. You've got the issue dealt with and now it's time to move on...

fuel wouldnt appear on the threads tho. it would only be in the combustion chamber if that was the case..

dont worry tho its probably just water that seeped in when the engine was washed. if it happens again replace the spark plug wires.
as long as its running fine i wouldnt even bother taking it in somwhere.

Just buy some new plugs and some anti-seize. Put the anit-seize on the thread of the spark plug and it might clean out some of the rust. Rust isnt that big of a deal, but I would even try to clean it with some wd-40. Not too much tho.

I imagine the rust is from the spark plugs, not the engine...it's aluminum.

Or am i stating the obvious here?
