Fuel soaked #1 spark plug

Fuel soaked #1 spark plug *Fixed*

Hey hows it going? I have my problem posted on some other great boards but thought Id try here. I was trying to send svttech76 a PM but is seems his box is full which is a shame because he seems to know a lot about this kind of stuff.

Anyway Im experiencing a problem at my number one cylinder. Pulled the plugs and found that it was the ONLY one that is soaked in fuel. Heres some background info.

1998 Mustang 3.8 5 speed
Heads/cam/intake, 1.8 RR's..the list goes on.

I just recently installed a cam and afterward is when I started experiencing this misfire. Heres what ive done
*checked/replace coil pack
*checked/replaced spark plug wires
*check/replaced spark plugs.
*checked number 1 injector harness with voltmeter (maybe i didnt do this right)
*checked compression on #1 -160psi (cold)

Right now im really running out of options. I have fuel, spark, and compression but no combustion in that cylinder. Now heres the funny thing. I was tinkering with a rocker arm on the PASSENGER SIDE and when I put it all together, it was running great! Definitely running on all six. I know the rockers are all torqued down properly from zero lash but this stumps me. I dont think its a rocker but a really big coincidence. Right now I have it totally ripped down again since I had to replace a leaking front seal

I would appreciate any feedback or tips you have since I need some help here and going to school full time and working doesnt help. Sorry for such a long message but thought Id be as clear as I can. Thanks in advance.

PS. heres a link to my car on 3.8mustang.com since I frequent over there a lot.

5 day bump......anyone know how to get a hold of svttech76??

first off thanks for the reply


Forgot to add that I swapped in a totally different injector (had a bag of extras) and had the exact same result. I'm in the process of purchasing a noid light but for the mean time, any other recommendations?

The injector I used to replace the old was was from a car the exact same year. Yeah Comp is good, rr's are torqued to spec. Im going to do a more thorough inspection of the spark when I get it all back together. Also going to check the injector harness. This is where Im at from ripping it all down and replacing the front seal. Thanks again for the reply.

just wanted to update this thread. All problems have been resolved. Found out that my harmonic balancer was seperating and causing the timing marks to be off. ALSO using a noid light found that number 6 injector was not firing. Further investigation proved that the power wire was grounding out, so that has been fixed as well. Shes up and running great.
