Plugs looking like that wouldn't have anything to do with the compression.

Sounds like it is just running too rich.

A link to many D-jet links. You need a good multimeter to test the sensors. I like to refer to a wiring diagram and make checks with the multimeter at the computer by pulling the monster multiplug and probing the proper contact pairs - that way you test the wiring and the sensor at the same time. If you see an anamoly, check again at the offending sensor to see if the anamoly is in the wiring or the sensor.

Lots of D-Jet cars get hacked to death by people who try to use mechanical tinkering skills on them, trying to fix problems by tinkering with the hardware. But most problems are usually electrical in nature.
