ive adjusted the tps i havea q45 tb and greddy intake,frontmount and bov. ive replaced the plugs sometimes it helps sometimes it doesnt. i found 2 little crack in the coils i taped them sealed them everything i tried. it is fouling all of the plugs, misfire on idle and as you drive. i want to buy new coils, but i did change the plugs within 5 minutes they were super black. im not having any luck hopefully one of you know what to do or try,

Maybe it's running real rich.

You are apparently running very rich and since all the plugs are black after 5 min of use, the issue is most likely going to be something that is common to all cylinders.

List of things to check in the order that I would check them(find a fsm to figure out how to check)
Fuel pressure regulator
Maf
O2 sensor(not likley to make it run as rich as you seem to be, but still not a bad idea to check it out)
ecu

I replaced 02 nothing changed. Changed coolant temp sensor nothing. I unplugged the Maf it ran real s***. So I don't think that is bad I checked coils 2 had very very minor cracks I taped then and expoxyed them still the same. I know 2 are probably not the best but it shouldn't affect the other cylinders and aslo when it's running unplugging one at a time they all effect the engine the same. I have not checked fuel pressure, my gauge won't hook up I'm borrowing one tommorow. Would an igniter do this? I have a z32

Could be wiring. Before I got my WS harness my car was going through $30 of gas every 20 miles. After I got the harness that stopped
