Fouled spark plugs

[joshblackford]

I have a 1999 9-5 SE V6. I have a CEL on and the car is in limp home mode I think. Has trouble starting and staying running, wants to stall. I pulled all the plugs. Bank 2 were all good. But bank 1 they were all dry fouled. So I replaced the DIC in bank one put all new plugs in and still the same situation. Bank 1 fouled all three plugs and I can smell raw fuel. I'm worried it's the turbo but I don't get blue exhaust from pipes. Thanks.

Did you use a new DI on bank one or a used one? Sounds like it is a bad DI, I had this happen while I was driving a V6 once. The DI started shorting and eventually burnt out car fell flat on its face (because it was only running on 3-cylinders,) causing raw fuel to dump into the cylinders and eventually get pushed into the exhaust. Long story short the car burnt up in a matter of minutes. Definitely wouldn't drive it until you put a known good DI on it and it runs/idles good.
