So my car has been starting a little rougher than usual and since I had a smog test at a star station coming up (I live in CA) I decided to do a tune up, well to my surprise when I pulled the plugs they all looked like they had rust on the tips aren't plugs suppose to normally have a whitish coloration after being used for awhile, these plugs are about a year old I would say, anyone know what can cause them to look like this
