Change the spark plugs month ago because it was running on one cylinder. I put maybe 5km on since i had this done now another plug went. Pulled it out and it is soaking wet.Any ideas what may be causing this to happen?

Got 2 etec 800 & 1 etec 600 out of summer storage and while sitting there idleing one of the etecs stalled and only ran on 1 plug after
Swapped a plug from the other 800 and it ran fine
Bought 6 new plugs and replaced the burn plug and all etecs run excellent

but why would if fail just idleing after summer storage???

Remember to index the plug - which is basically marking the open side of the plug -- opposite the ground post -- to face the fuel injector. the better the open part of the plug faces the injector the better the burn/performance.
