3 problems, or 1, Sparkplug related
Ok so for the past month or so the car has been riding rough, it stalls out at stoplights sometimes and while driving it has been bucking. It almost seams like its not sparking. Today I go to start it up to go to my parrents house and it is misfiring. I think this is so because is it sounds like an old V8, and I can smell fuel comming from the exhaust. I tested the plug wires and pulled the plugs just to check the ovbious and this is what I found...
The wires tested out OK, but the one diffrent looking plug leads me to believe I may have a problem with one, or 3.
With 72k on her, shes going to need some service work soon, I just changed out the brakes last night, but cant see that having anything to do with the car's current problem. Any help is much appreciated..
Happy 4th!

One step at a time. Don't do a whole bunch of stuff to complicate matters.
Rob, can you figure out how any water could have gotten in there? Do you wash the engine bay and either not blow out the plugs to eliminate water or idle and run the car till any water evaporates?
I would replace the plugs only first. Then see how it goes for the next step.

That rust means nothing.
My plugs get like that too, it comes from washing the motor and not drying it out...

that always works for me.
Change the plugs and try it out.
