Re: [St] Plug problem

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The extra large gap, I believe, can be explained by the anode(?)
material being eaten away over time due to the electrical arcing.  They
probably were gapped properly to begin with.  Probably. 

How's the air filter look?  Although I can't figure how one throttle
body would be significantly more blocked than the others.  Large dead
bug(s)/concentration of crud?  

Jump in and help me, guys!

Subject: [St] Plug problem

Last Saturday I decided to change the oil and plugs on my '99 ST

After setting the gap on the new ones (0.8-0.9mm) I noticed the old ones

were a little large, actually 3mm, which struck me as odd.
I also noticed that plug 1 was a little carbon coloured meaning my
mixture 
is a little rich on that cyclinder. The other two were perfect.

Now, after warming up, I am running a little hesitant on idle and has
cut 
out on me a few times whilst sat in traffic

Any advice of where to start please?
