 | 1996 K1500 plug fouling 5.7L 4l60e auto just replaced head gaskets My #5 cylinder keeps fouling (fuel). I'll put a known good plug in and it will run great for about 5-10 minutes, then you start hearing the miss, engine starts shaking and if it's in gear, it will want to die. The plug wires are good and I am going to replace the cap and rotor, but I have been told that the fuel pressure reg. under the upper intake is prone to leaking. Is this true and how can I tell if this is the problem? JR |

| when you pulled the intake you could have damaged the injector for the number five cyllinder. this would cause fuel to pour into the cyllinder and fould the plug |

| Guys, it was the fuel pressure regulator. It sits just above the #5 intake port and when I removed it, the filter screen was totally clogged and I'm figuring this is what caused it to leak. JR |
