Read My Plugs
I am an EVO newb... Not too sure how to read my plugs... maybe you can offer me a suggestion.
After three 2 minute trips in ~20 degree weather yesterday, i went to pull my evo in the garage and it started bad and sputtered into my garage. I figured it was some cold weather bug, but when i went to start it this morning ( in my garage at around 40 degrees) it wouldnt start.
Battery looks good(tried using jumper pack), engine cranks hard, i smell fuel BUT no start. Plugs were wet and smelled of gas.. but i did try to crank it about 10 times today...
Do you think i could have flooded the engine with my quick trips in the cold weather, and not letting the engine get to temp? Right now i have the plugs out and i am hoping the gas will evaporate and things will be all better...
Anywho.. Can you give me some advice on these plugs:

Actually he was really knowledgeable about tuning, DanInPA if you remember him.
Only extra parts are a drop in filter, and a turbo back exhaust. Boost peak at 21 psi. maybe some cold weather tuning is in order, since that seems to be what put the plugs out of their misery.
