do a compression test on the cylinders that are fouled..if the compression is good you may have the valve stem seals breaking down , and this is gonna happen again.seals are cheep if you use the umbrella type ,the better one are the vitron spring style . but I think you need the valve guide machined for them..

Thats not that bad of an idea. But the thing was rite when i put those (50 mile) new plugs in it started doing it AS soon as i hit like 45 or so. So they still didnt have a chance to be fouled yet i dont believe. Its a great bronco. Heck, i paid 400 bucks for it and other than that messing up its been great. and it obviously still runs like a champ because i have never ran it that hard till yesterday. and it still seemed like it had plenty more power even sitting at about 100. and this is the C6 3 speed. lol. So if it does need new valves i am gonna go ahead and and have the heads ported and polished also....
