Symptoms of burnt spark plugs

[Danny]

Does anyone know what are the symptoms of a burnt spark plug? Is is similar to burnt cables? eg. car lethargic and misfiring

Reason for asking is because suddenly the car started to become very lethargic and when I tried to boost, there were a lot of vibrations and the turbo feels like it is not responding.

I suspect it being burnt spark plugs but if anyone has other diagnosys it is very much welcomed.

went to get new plugs and dynotune today, took the current plugs out and it was black in colour, massive over fuelling. From the dyno test, low throttle was overfuelled while the high throttle was under fuelled.

yolk, no scanner at my house la... u got fax no. I can fax it to you. Now ah... on boost still a bit lean, thats why running at 0.9 bar only, once I get my fuel setup properly can consider 1.2-1.5.
