Spark plug fouled?
I just pulled all my spark pugs because i think my car is running rich (among other problems) and im just curious if this is actually fouled

Its wet and smells like gas, maybe oil i didnt really smell it close hah
but its gapped right, and a little wet on the treads but not the electrode.

wet threads = bad valve cover gasket. Not hard to change at all just takes something like 24 hours to have the sealer crap dry

Oh okay cool that's an easy fix, so you don't think it's running rich or anything? It idles for like a second kinda high, then dives to like 2 rpm and stalls

That could be caused from a vacuum leak. Check over your lines for cracks or rips

Check for Spark then Fuel, if not you might have a Vacuum leak somewhere in the intake manifold
