[Chrysler300] Tech Question

[pennsy300@xxxxxxx]

Since it finally warmed up here in frigid Dayton (70 degrees, and it's  still 
technically winter!), I decided to take the 300D out of its winter home in  
my garage, fire it up, and take it for a spin.  After thoroughly charging  the 
battery, which had been in the basement since late November, the car started  
after no more than 20 seconds of cranking, but clearly it was not running that 
 well, at least not on 8 cylinders.  Back in the garage, after checking the  
plugs one at a time, I determined that the faulty cylinder was number eight  
(naturally, right under the blower motor housing).  I pulled the plug,  which 
was oil fouled, replaced it with a new one, and all was heaven  again:  Runnin' 
just fine!   My question is this:  Could the  oil foul on the plug be the 
result of the car sitting idle for nearly four  months and then starting up, or 
is this potentially an indication of a more  serious problem?  I guess, if it 
stays warm, and if I drive the car a bunch  and the problem does not reoccur, 
that might be an answer, but I am interested  in opinions out there.  Thanks.
