Need Advice: Black Spark Plug #6 - Car is running really bad...

Background of my car: 08 135 Auto 40,000 - FBO + Meth + 4gal of E85/93 - tank down to about a 1/4 tank.

Took the car out this morning and it ran fine without any issue. Went to take it back out 5 minutes later and that is when my day took a nose dive... Started fine and drove fine for about 3 minutes and then started missing really bad...

I run the codes and got multiple misfires. I smell gas...
First thought was to fill the tank with 93 to see if that would help - fail
Next, I figured the plugs were most likely due so I went OEM Bosch.


Cylinder 6 was black and reeked of gas! I went ahead and changed it with a new plug. Fired it up and it was good for a minute and then the miss came back... Decided to drive the car and see how it would do with any load. The drives fine once you give it some gas and still has the good old kick that it always has had. But come to a stop and the fun stops... Backfire's etc.

Pulled the new plug in cylinder 6 and it is now black and stinks of gas.

My guess is that my injector 6 is stuck open or something along those lines.
Any thoughts???
