"Worn out" is BS. My NGK BR7EFs have been in for over 50,000 miles and It still runs fine and get's 14-15 mpg(my 'gauge' of still-useful plugs). I have 'average'(no ported upper) mods with a 5# lower.

How far are you from Cincinnati? We could squeeze you in.

Change Plugs (YES GREEN =LEAN)

I'd add a good Injector Cleaner
and get some 100 Octane

Lean = MANY POSSIBILITY'S,
Clogged Injector, Filter, Bad Fuel, Crappy Fuel, WRONG OCTANE Fuel, Tune, etc....

My Truck was only a Virgin when it Happen
All it took was one tank of fuel from Amoco
(I have since then burnt the station down)
J/K
OR AM I ??? hehehehehehehe................



Cause

Rob, its funny you say bad gas and Amoco as I did fill up with BP gas(which uses Amoco as I heard) the night before this problem came up. I still have half a tank of it so I'll burn it up quick, get gas elsewhere, and change the full filter. Thanks Rob.

According to yahoo maps, almost 300 miles or 4 hours. That will be an all day trip. But, if you can fit me in, I'll try to make it up there once I get this problem fixed.

You want to see something funnier
7 days before those pictures were taken, my tuner wanted me to pull a few plugs and show them to him (via pic on the net) to see how the truck was running on his tune.

I pulled two 7 days before that pic to show them to him





Btw
If you look closely to pic #1,
AND I SHOULD HAVE READ IT RIGHT AT THE TIME, BUT DIDN'T, It was already being attacked, (those little white spec's) so
I was running a little too lean (or not cold enough plugs)
but as scene CLEARLY NO GREEN

As you see
7 days and a tank of Amoco
WAS ALL IT TOOK
