Hello Good People,
I just cannot seem to close this thread.
After doing a seafoam injection cleaning followed by changing the spark plugs the truck was running fine for what seemed like a couple of months, until last week I got another CEL 1316P. Everytime it came down to the replacing the cylinder #6 spark plug.
I have yet to do a compression test but what else should I be looking for?
Could this be the result of a leaky fuel injector? I recall a couple of years ago I would get some fuel vapors coming inside the cabin when first taking off any given day. If I drove the car again that day I would not smell anything. I never replaced anything and yet it smell pretty much went away. It was definitely coming from under the hood and not the rear.
As a side note the truck used to get more highway miles. This probably helped to mask some things like keeping carbon from building up. These days as in 2020 really no highway miles, just locale city driving to grocery, 5 - 15 mile trips etc.
Scratching my head...
What are your thoughts?
HISTORY:

New Plug Wires - the good stuff
New Spark Plugs - Champion Copper

After nearly two months the same bad looking #6 spark plug

Running rough with the return of 1316P code.
Thanks
