well, either they're wet with gasoline or worse, wet with coolant. If the former, perhaps the cylinders are flooding with fuel, and there is no combustion occurring, causing the spark plugs to become "wet". If the latter, you're in trouble! If the engine has been ran hot for an extended period of time, or been driven for long periods with an extremley low oil level, you most likely have a cracked head. Cracks in a cylinder head can allow coolant into the combustion chamber where the spark plug is, and this is almost ceatainly BAD news. There is an easy way to tell though, next time you pull the plugs to inspect them, give them a sniff to see if they smell like gasoline.

Why my 1996 BMW Z3 roadster won't start no spark at all?
Well lets see, if the spark plugs are wet that means there is gas getting there. But, on other hand there could be something wrong with your spark plugs. Meaning..... there is a electrical problem or your spark plugs are shot and you need to get new ones. Hope this helps.

Why would your spark plugs get wet and car stall?
"Wet" Spark PlugsThe cause of "wet" spark plugs, ignition wiring, and engine stalling depends on what you mean by wet.Your use of the terms wet AND stall suggest that you mean water on the outside of the plugs and on the spark plug wires.If you are talking about external wetness with water, then the cause is usually one of two things:Water from a wet roadway has splashed "up" into the engine compartment and caused the plugs and ignition wiring to be wet, orA combination of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere has resulted in condensation of water vapor on the plugs and wires.In either case, the result is misfiring, rough running, and in the worst case scenario, even stalling.IF on the other hand, by wet you mean liquid fouling of the spark plug terminals inside the engine, this is usually caused by one of two other things:Too much fuel getting to the cylinders, orCrankcase oil leaking into the cylinders, caused by worn or broken piston oil rings.
