What the HELL are you doing now???



They look like they have been burning rather rich.

Change them.

Check the air filter.

P.S. Wires? How do they look?

How do you know that? The conductors look fine to me. I am not trying to be a smart ***...I really want to know.

plugs might be original, change them and dont worry about it.

When it stops running, worry about it. Do a full tune up while you are

there.

were all the plugs the same type of AC plug? either the plug number is

like 5 numbers long, or that one thats darker is a different number alltogether

Maybe its the wrong heat range.

Get a fresh battery. Some cars will just not run with a weak battery. Jumping it isn't enough. You need full voltage to the brain box and the fuel system.
