Was it a dry black or a wet black David? Not counting the threads here.
Open the gap some like Steve said then. If it looked wet it would be oil so that's a good sign.
Today i pulled the plugs to re-gap them and they were completely black All OF THEM. I had to wire brush them before putting them back in The car is rich as heck in idle And just driving around if possible - once i get a "A" Wideband on the car i am going to ask Eric to use the files to lean it out some (A lot)

when we started the discussion, your car was running way too rich, and, to me, it looked like it was trying to run on alky and was short on gas.I think you have to go back to the basics and get everything dialed in right. Normally, Eric's default parameters and Julio's suggested alky settings are very close.If you can get the charging system and voltage supply to the ecm, ignition, and injectors up to snuff as well as get the fuel back on keel, I think you will see a major turn around in how things work and perform.Sometimes, we have to turn the alky off, boost down, and get the car running right at normal boost before worrying about getting it to run at 25 psi or so with alky spraying
julio and Eric make life real simple. If you were honest with Eric when you ordered your chip for the questions he asks...and you told him your max boost level was for 25 PSI...then you should be able to hit that with zero adjusting...an d the 02's showing about 820 at WOT on Erics default setting. As Steve says...get the gremlins sorted out first.
okay...the ecm is adding fuel like mad, the maf reads in the right range, the o2 looks lazy to me....if the fp is right, then, I would stick a Denso non heated sensor in the car and throw the heated one away. They don't code right, and they lose range with age.For Twenty some dollars, that is about the cheapest means of trying to double check things that I can think of at the moment. Your plugs confirm what the scantool is telling us.
