Default FI problem

Okay, i know this is no big deal, but i dont have a code reader to know what code my car is throwing. My car threw a CEL, the car is running fine. I havent driven it in about 2 weeks. i only took it out to watch FF3. I noticed at idle i was at 10.8-10.5. WTF why am i running rich?? I figured it was the weather, and ill just re-tune the fcon on monday. This morning im driving my Z home, right when i start it up and move about 100ft CEL!!. The only thing i can think of are the Plugs are fouled (i havent changed my plugs since i got my kit, about a year ago), the car runs fine still. When you foul a plug doesnt the ECU dump fuel, causing to run this rich. I bet bank 1 and bank 2 are rich as hell.

Ill know tomorrow, i wish i had a damn code checker~!!

If you have AutoZone in Texas they will let you use a code reader...

I have an OBD II scanner on my laptop. Most likely you are getting a misfire code. Usually no big deal. My car throws CEL's on a regular basis.
