    HELP... fouled plugs????

    my truck started running like **** after a couple of weeks of running fine, so i pulled the spark plugs and they were what seemed to have oil on them... i put a new set of iridiums in it and it ran perfect, for about 20 minutes, then started the same ****. like sputtering and what not.

    you been wasting good money on those junk iridium plugs. also if your boosted those are deff wrong plugs.

    are you using pCV or breathers?

    NGK TR55 for under 11.0 cr. NGK TR6 for boost or juice or above 11.0 cr

    how long has motor been together

    pcv on LS motors dont work for anything besides stock

    thats why GM has like 7 designs, they all suck

    Iridiums are great N/A and no matter what plug you have fouling in 20 minutes means there is a problem. Never heard of that tuner so it's suspect but tunes don't change all of the sudden. Need more info.

    It's not the tune... But I'm not sure what is fouling my damn plugs, the old ones had some oil omln them and that's all I know... What are the causes.
