Multiple cylinder misfire under boost
Several months ago at an autox event, while under boost the Yaris posted a CEL and went into limp mode in the middle of the race. The codes showed misfires on multiple cylinders. Fortunately, the CEL cleared and the car ran fine if I stayed out of boost.
When I pulled the spark plugs, they were all coated with a dry reddish deposit. Today I put in a fresh set and the car runs as well as it did right after the blower was installed. The SC typically puts out 7lbs of boost. I use Shell V-Power gas at 91 octane. What causes this type of deposit? The plugs are NGK BKR7EIX Iridium with a heat range of 7. The plugs have been in since December of last year. I'm also running a set of 1ZZ injectors. AFR stays at 14.7 under normal driving conditions and then goes to 11-12 under boost.
