[Shotimes] Oxygen Sensor Question

[Ron Porter]

With a bad coil, wouldn't the car run rich and give you a black, sooty plug?
I can see a white (lean) plug with a clogged FI.

I had a CEL that would come and go while cruising down the highway.  Never 
got any codes that made sense.  I changed the O2s and found one almost eaten

up.  Changed both out and still got the CEL.  I pulled the plugs and found 
one to be very white.  This meant the FI was clogged or the coil was bad on 
that cylinder.
