I tried my best but my POS $50 digicam can't focus. Anyway I had a CEL p0301 and P1399 codes. I replaced them with OEM NGK plugs but my old plugs don't look that bad. I know its hard to tell by the pics but can anyone give some input? The car is an 02' with 7300 miles, never over-rev'd or raced.

It could just be the camera angle but the first plug in your first pic looks like that cylinder was running much richer than the rest. In the other pics it looks as though one of the plugs looks leaner than the rest. Did you happen to mark which plugs came from which cylinder? The misfire code is for cylinder 1.

Stop posting more blurry pictures - they aren't adding any value.
From the color of the electrodes, they look normal. In my car I find that number 4 tends to run hotter than the rest of the plugs, and they look the same as yours. Misfire codes can be due to any number of reasons, and it doesn't look like spark plugs are the reason for yours.

You may as well draw us pictures of spark plugs using crayons.
And to the guy who quoted the original post, it's not necessary to quote with all the same pictures AGAIN. You can delete the pictures in the quote.
I think my eyes are permanently scared.

Checked the codes and came out to be p0300 p00303 p0304 p1339. One of the Autozone people said my old spark plugs look corroded.
