Basically it means your fuel to air mixture is to rich (too much fuel and too little air), meaning that you are getting an incomplete burn of the fuel drawn into the cylinder for each cycle. It could also mean that you are not getting a hot enough spark (to ignite the mixture) thus leaving too much of the fuel unburned.

Why could the spark plugs get wet on your previa?

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.
