Issue with a dark plug on E85

I have a MAP 2.3 with FIC 1250 injectors. Motors has 5k mile on it. My car runs fine, but I am getting ready to have the car tuned so I pulled my plugs to make sure everything was ok. This what I had after 300miles.

I pulled the injectors and each injector looked just like each plug with #3 being the darkest. I cleaned the injectors in Seafoam. They came out like new. I moved injectors 3&4 to 1&2 and 1@2 to 3&4. After 100miles here what I have.

Any Ideas?This time only the #3 injector was getting dark.

I moved the injector and the plug from #3 the dark one to #1. New injector and plug on #3 same thing on #3. Anyone got a shop near me?

Pinched harness? I dont know if you can "enrich" one cylinder at a time in a tune.

There is fluid on top of that piston. The compression is down 20psi from the others. I know if that cylinder is flooded it will drop the compression.
