Default Spark Plug Fouling Out...Need Help

Hi, I have a spark plug that keeps fouling out. Ive been told that you can buy an extender to keep it from fouling out???? Is this true, and are there any other tricks to try and keep it from fouling out. Thanks guys, Zak.

Check out the plug wire. If that's ok do a compression check.

Is the plug fouled with oil or fuel?

Depending on what the plug looks like...you can ohm the injector on that cylinder and do a fuel pressure leak down test to make sure that injector is not causing the fouling. Also make sure that plug is getting spark when it should.
