Spark Plug Help (Already Searched)...
Well my car was accelerating kinda rough so I figured I would change the wires and plugs. Well I put all of it on and when I started it, it ran worse than before. Almost did not crank up...I think the guy at Autozone gave me the wrong wires...So I put the old wires back on and stayed with the V Power Ngk....Started 100% better and ran a tad bit better but still worse than in the beginning. Could starting the car with the wrong spec wires have messed up the plugs...1 or 2 look a little more black than the other 2...
Any help is appreciated!

Forgot to mention, the first start after all replacing the car had a lot of white smoke coming out...never experienced this before, and thus leading to a rough sputtering idle
o just its just a stock ZC motor by the way

Re: (jb55)
Check the rotor button on the inside of the distributor. It's like 3/4 phillips scres and the you'll see the button and check to see if it's maybe broken or just dirty. You can generally replace them for cheap too

Clean the dirty plugs, you probably just had your firing order wrong or something simple. Wrong wires generally won't cause a bad start, because they won't fit at all.

I was gonna say the same. Make sure your firing order is correct. That being wrong and it could cause hard start up and bad bogging etc....
