times in a row. I been having problems with
my plugs getting fouled. Has anyone had
this problem? I only use XD 100.

How many hours on them? Maybe time for a new set.
Not many hours. I Been changing them out
every year cause of this problem.
May want to check your head temps with an IR gun. May not be getting up to temp on an idle only lake. None of the DI motors like to idle.
What is a DI motor
Direct Injected, from the FICHT on up.
thermostats stuck open?

Whats your temps when idling? I have a 150 G1 that spends 4 hours plus each outing idling(trolling). Plugs look almost new at about 50-75 hrs when i change them out... though i try and get a hard run at the start and end of each day to help clean her up.
I fish idle only lakes close to home when I don't feel like making a drive. The engine dosen't like it on consecutive trips, but I take her out every few times to the big lakes and let her eat, that helps the plugs a lot....I'm running an 03 250 DI. I was not aware that the ETEC's were prone to this problem.....but take her out and let her eat once in a while and she will be fine.... or change plugs..... The XD-100 oil helps some with the idleing problem also...
