Was it running bad before? Yes it shows a tad rich but they are far from fouling out. Personally, i'd clean them up and run em. If there's a problem during or after the tune, it's easy enough to install new ones then.

Not at all. It runs great. I can't wait to see what the headers and tune does to it. You have a good point. Plugs are easy on this car.

P.S. - I have to give a shout-out to PB Penetrating Catalyst. I put WD-40 on the sensors yesterday afternoon as soon as I took the manifolds out and at noon today the sensors wouldn't budge.

I sprayed the PB on my O2 sensors and 15 min later they came out like butter. That stuff is AMAZING.

There is nothing wrong with your car, like everyone said it is a stock tune, and Im sure you also still have the AFM working so that is another issue that will show on some cylinders/plugs!

I say your ok, I'd run a new set as well if you can swing it coin wise. A tune will do wonders.

Thanks for feedback guys. It is very reassuring to have a site like this to get advice and learn from. I can swing a new set. litle88, you just about have me convinced to just do that. I certainly won't hurt.
