Re: changed plugs keep fouling

What year, engine size and mileage?

If you have the 3.4L the rear fuel rail has a Schrader valve that you can push in on and see if fuel comes out or any trapped air.

Are you getting a SES light?

Its possible. You'll need to hookup an automotive fuel pressure gauge to the valve. The pressure gauge will have a purge button and runoff hose where you can purge any possible air out. You can do this while engine is running or in the fuel pump prime position. The gauge runs around $25 at places like Autozone. You could have a clogged injector. Have you tried any fuel injector cleaner additive like Lucas?

Also you can check fuel pressure to see if it is in specs.

For the SES light I'd get it scanned for odb-ii error codes.
