Were any of the plugs “cleaner” than the other? You could have a sticking fuel injector. If your CEL is flashing you probably have a misfire.
 






My plugs Are clean I have not checked the injectors what did you mean my cell light. Check engine light is always on.

What if I used gumout complete duel cleaner but I already used a bottle of this about a few weeks ago
 






If you find one plug cleaner than the rest it often points to a coolant leak in that cylinder, or a sticking injector. CEL=check engine light. If you clear the codes do they come right back? How old are the wires?

Yes the light comes back on.

Well the plugs ain't to old and the spark plug are not wet just got a little carbon is all.
 






I’d check the MAF wiring. The plugs likely wouldn’t be wet. How old are the wires?
 












You checked it all the way back to the computer? I’d check the MAF with a multimeter.
 












If MAF checks out and ALL the wiring ( not just the connector) is good you probably need a new computer.

Well weeks just looked at the pc and it don't have a black wire on it to test it or does that black wire go somewhere else
 






check your o2 senser
roscoe
 












Are you sure they are correct? Did you get the upstream and downstream ones in the correct place?
 






Yes they are in th e right place
 






Since you have checked everything and are sure it’s good in the harness and the sensors, I’d grab a junkyard computer for your model year and drivetrain package. I’m not sure what else it could be.
 






What a drivetrain package
