Really? Autolite plugs are crap? Guess I should throw mine away, only been in there a couple years and getting 17mpg average. My Saab only gets 28mpg with the Autolites.
IDIOT! STOP MAKING BLANKET COMMENTS! There is nothing wrong with the plugs he used, probably not the wires either. Throwing parts at it will only dent his wallet.
You don't have injector issues if all 8 plugs are black, the odds of all the injectors going bad at once are astronomical. Very possible a sensor is off the charts.
Most likely the O2's are toast from being subject to all that raw fuel. Once the sensor is fouled it will not give a correct reading. Cleaning is hit or miss. Sensors are not that expensive.

Yes AutoLite plugs are crap.
I used tried two different sets, one set of Iridium and one set of copper, both lasted less than a month.
As for cheap plug wires, I tried that route too, first set lasted a year, second set a week, third set a day, fourth set a day.
Many many many MANY other's have reported similar findings with the AutoLite plugs and cheap wire sets.

It's a shame you are so ignorant. You had a bad experience so the rest of the world did too? Site your source for all the "many, many, Many" people who had a problem with Autolite plugs. Seriously, post up the links to all the complaints.

If something works good for you maybe you just need to state that fact and not go off on a hissy fit like a child, I think that would be more helpful to others then you just going off on me.

Can you elaborate please. Which relay and where was it located? What color was it and what color did you put in there?
