passenger side plugs came out sooty and black and it was all 4 of the even cylinders.... i did previously have a misfire going on on 8 but that is resolved. also when i had my ignition coils off all the odd cylinder posts on the coils looked nice and shiny where as the even ones looked as though they had been burnt by the heat from the ignition circuit to the plug.. it was really weird

 

bump!

 

Sounds like a bad O2 sensor.
O2 sensors are what tells the ECU how much fuel is being used on that bank.

 

interesting, i did just replace those at the same time as my new plugs. think i should drive a few hundred miles then pull them to check for charring?

 

Yup. You may want to call a local indy shop to have your adaptive memory erased so it will read the new sensors sooner.
