Probably a leaking injector seal. Is the exhaust really sooty, and does it smell rich, like gasoline? Pull all 4 plugs and look at them. If one is real black and fouled up, you'll need to replace the seals on that cylinder's injector.

Yeah check injectors, also check your O2 sensor for proper operation.

While you're changing the o2 sensor, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a full tune up (plugs, ignition wires, dist cap and rotor, fuel filter, air filter, check your timing, adjust your idle, etc).
