Trailing plugs not firing??
Ok well I changed my plugs the other day and noticed that the trailing had some gas on them. Both trailing BTW. I haven't had a chance to mess with the car again so I'm assuming this means they aren't firing correct?? I have a HKS, new plugs and wires so all of that should be good. What are other option for this besides the ignitor, coils, plugs, wires. I'm assuming this has something to do with why car car idles like crap for about a min. when I crank it after it is warm.

Idling like crap when warm cranking may be bad tuning or low compression engine.
The trailing plugs are each fired by a seperate coil, so I doubt the coil is the problem.
I'm not convinced that they aren't firing based on your post, you may want to get a spark light to make sure

Yeah I doubt both coils are bad also, just trying to come up with other options. I'm also not ruling out low compression, but it runs fine, and only idles like crap for about 30-40sec when cranked when warm. Its also had a pretty hard year, engine wise.
I plan on checking the spark sometime this weekend. Believe me I know about checkin with the HKS hooked up I did that once, bad idea.
