none starting/sparkplug problem
hey guys,
our 92 f150 5.0l wont start.it will try but wont fire off.
today we check the sparkplugs and there all very wet,they have spark coming off them but its a very bright white spark and its around the tip.its not arching off the tips its arching around the tip.
these are new spark plugs that havent seen any road time.so the question is what would cause this probblem? just bad sparkplugs or somthing else is going on?

The floor got hot and melted the seat belt covers WTF??? I know the cats can get hot but I've never heard of something like this. Was this only happening on the passenger side of the truck. Go down and check for an exhaust leak near the area that got hot.
