Had a tech problem,
Any ways rht to lft, passenger side to driver side. I do not know how old these plugs are? i have not had any fuel additive in about a tank & half, which i used Sea Foam in tank & intake. BTW when i get her up to 5k and above in RPM she blows a black ish smoke, not blue. Not really oil soaked for using 3 1/2 quarts per tank
Any ideas ??

What are you actually asking?
If you need to replace the plugs?
What kind of mileage is on the car?

Plugs shouldn't look like that.

NO !! the plugs are not supposed to look that way.
It has 132k, 2000 GT 5 speed. goes through 3 1/2 quarts per tank of gas.
I have never in my time seen plugs that looked like this with this much oil consumption and run not perfect but good, just as good as an 01 GTS auto i test drove last weekend with 111k.
I'm thinking if not for the oil consumption and MAF sensor, this thing would run like a Raped Ape.

BTW .. lk_knight .. I to ride, I have an 05 Yamaha FJR, she's put up for the winter.

The oil consumption/engine problems on the GT seems pretty common in the earlier 7th gens... I'm sure there's a lot more info kicking around on that if you look for it. They mention it in the sticky at the beginning of the 7th gen forum under "GT & GT-S". Not sure if that's what you've got going on. Funny that the plugs arn't just oil slick black though.

That's cool RSP88, I got out for a new years day ride, holy crap its cold out still! At least it wasn't raining.

Yep Way Cold, I took mine out of the garage, Warmed her up and was out for about 10 minutes. Right now my neighborhood has way to much snow pack on the roads, ( Not Leaving the Garage ) I think today we got up to 41 degrees Wooo Hooo. I'm starting to get the Bug !! starting to plan some Rides.

Put some new plugs in her today, runs even better, of course.
