Changed my spark plugs and...
That's exactly what it is. I would advise to just be a little more careful when cleaning, don't soak down the valley so bad with water. If you do, just pull the coils and use air to dry them and the plug tubes before running the engine a bit.

Alot of people care actually, which is more then likely why this thread was made.
Also I change my plugs every oil change now which is needed for my car. I also change my oil about every month now so i go through alot of plugs lol. I feel safer this way and get to see what my plugs look like every month.

Very ignorant first part there, even with all kinds of electronic management there are things you can see on a plug (like contamination) that will barely show up anywhere else. Water in fuel is evident on plugs at much lower concentrations than what it takes to trigger a CEL.
There are actual tools for testing fuel integrity and composition. Ignorance on your part - not knowing anything about the diagnostic tools of today.

Possibly the most rediculous thing i have ever heard relating to vehicle maintenance.
Well ive been a tech for over 10 years and I was just saying that visual inspection of a spark plug is VERY old fashioned and meaningless.

To each their own though and goodluck with the car.
ummm im Not quite sure. I would like to say yes as the little hiccups at idle Id experience every now and then are gone BUT I think that might have to do with climate change too...
It feels like it runs pretty good and thats all I care about lol. If one one those damn spark plugs rusted through and broke into my cylinder, I would be pissed... I only changed them because I seafoamed about a month ago. lol.

Old fashioned, absolutely. Meaningless? Not at all, it still holds true. I can pull a plug on a car and see evidence of poor quality/contaminated fuel after it has been run though the engine, even if the fuel currently in the tank is good.
