engine problem update & question

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxx>]

I am still experiencing a missfire problem with my car and today I 
decided to pull all of the spark plugs to check their condition as 
they can tell alot about the engine.

Anyway my findings were somewhat interesting and I wondered if anyone 
had any ideas.

The plugs from cylinders 1,3,4,6 had a nice bronze brown colour to 
them which would sugest that those cyliners are firing nicely.

However cylinders 5 & 2 (which are opposite to each other) had very 
sooty black plugs.
I would have thought that this means that these cylinders are 
missfiring.

Any ideas, I will quadruple check the order of the spark plug leads 
tommorow, but I can't beleive that these are wrong.
