Default Re: 15,000 miles and spark plug carbon closed gap??!!

Well a couple thousand miles after the last plug change, i pulled the plugs from the same cylinder and show signs of what they looked like before. I am going to replace the two plugs, and coil pack. I am going to run fuel injector cleaner through it as well. If this does not cure the problem i will be looking at replacing the injector. Then the valve cover is coming off to replace the lifters and possibly the valve guides/seals. Something is going on in that cylinder. Not sure what yet. Going to start working on in this friday. Also the car has developed a tick it sounds like right above that cylinder. This is why i may replace the lifters. I cant belive with 17,000 miles i am dealing with these issues.
