tinypanzer..it doesn't matter which plug i pull out. one plug has to be physically out of the head. I dont see any soot from the tailpipe but funny you should mention the plugs. they have only been ran in the car for maybe 15 minutes and the are black looking. the air meter plate doesn't seem to get sucked down any..
