Soot, or dry fouling of the plugs is a result of unburned fuel. The causes are (in order of likelihood) 1. Not enough air. 2. Weak Spark. Failed spark plug(s). 3. Too much petrol. 4. Ignition timing incorrect. The main thing to establish is the soot on all plugs or just one or a number. If all, then 1,2,3 & 4. If just one or two, or a bank if multi carbed, then focus on that bank.

What is a fouled spark plug?
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 2001 Chevy s10 pick-up truck?
First you remove the spark plug wires from each of the spark plugs, being careful not to wreck the wires. then you get a deep well socket that fits around the spark plugs. then you take out each of the spark plugs. get the new spark plugs and insert them in the spark plug holes. tighten them up and put the spark plug wires back on the plugs. I find there is more room to work if you jack up the front of the truck and remove the wheels. With a long extension you can easily reach five of them thru the wheel well. The one behind the steering shaft on the drivers side is a challenge.
