Spark Plug Issue

[theone]

Any one kno why i might be going thru spark plugs every 4 months....and there not the cheap ones either.

november to February- went thru NGK idrium plugs.

Feb to now- Denso Id. plugs

i mean, back in November i wasnt running nitrous, but i did have everything else and hte plugs just died after 4 months, change them and the car crank/started right up.

could it be that i need to get my car tuned because of all the modifications i've done?

im gona change them again today and look at them to compare them to the spark plug chart, and also take a pic to show u all, cause maybe one of u can read them better than i can

thanks

Again, what do they look like when they are removed? Black? White? melted? A pic would be a perfect description...

[theone]

there black, but with the like grayish tip (not sure what part of spark plug u call it)

but check this, i went to go get my car.......it was where i left it over night because it wouldnt start.

i change the plugs and it didnt start, so i was stuck
after an hour i just got in it, did not have the key in teh ignition but my Tach meter just started jumping and the shift light start to flash.......the car was not start nor was it moving


so i said f it...cut the wires to the tach (it was fucked up anyways, wouldnt stay at the correct shift point i set it at).

the i sat in the car just thinking, what m i gona do.

called my cousin with hte tow truck....while waiting i just start to try to crank it again.

i kept smashing the clutch and turn the key, the key everyonce in a while would gt stuck and the clutch would grind bad and this is while just tryn to start it.

next thing i kno it cought but then i hit the gas the rpm claimed and then it just stopped


i kept trying it again, and it did it again and stopped
after like the 4th time it started and stayed started.


i re started like 7 times after that to make sure it would start and it did.

so i hurried my ass home.


what could it had been.....?


maybe the engine was flooded from trying to start it and hitting the gas from the other day...........


or could it be that (im not sure) the clutch wasnt engaging properly to start the vehicle (i dont kno if thats possible or not).

i do have a very bad slipping clutch

[theone]

i did and they seem to work better, car has more pic up and everything.

but Fizz do u think the clutch could cause that?
