black means unburnt fuel, it might be running a bit rich - get the fuelling checked out by an expert on a rolling road!!!

um....59s are FAR better in mine than 57s!!!57s misfire ALL the time,on start up,on motorways if just driving normally!they even stopped my car from starting a few times as the gaps closed up and they wouldnt fire!!!59s much much much better in my experience!
