Default help!!! lite popping at 4000 + rpm

I have a light popping and hesitation when accelerating from 3500 rpm upwards... I have checked a few plugs for fouling.. I am going to clean MAF and change fuel filter any other suggestions....

What the hell is a "help light"?

All right, I'm just kidding. That's what I got out of the title initially though.

Ditto - if not the plugs, also check our 02 sensors.

Not being mean or anything - but you do know how to tell if a plug is fouled or burnt, right?

Default Are these plugs fouled??

Here is a picture of my plugs they do not look fouled to me,although they do have carbon buildup where you are suppose to put the anti-seize when putting them back in

They have a nice bronzed/brown color at the tip where spark is

Default it was the plugs

replaced the plugs with the champion 7989 and that fixed the problem

Thanks
