Have someone else to replace them, just kidding. They are a pain, but really not that bad.

I switched around the wires,and i still got the same codes.I also pulled the plugs and they're dry and look very very old,and kinda look like they have been carbon fouled or something.They just look really old.Anyway,i cleaned them and gapped them (they were WAYYY off)and tossed them back in.Its still doing the same thing.No power,chugging when in gear,and a blinking check enginge light.I guess new plugs are next.Anybody know what to do next???? Thanks again!!!!!

I would have replaced the plugs if I had them out. Try a new set of plugs and with the plugs out,do a compression test.

So i replaced the plugs,and now the check engine light is off,but it's still running like poo.It has a little more power,and isnt chugging as badly as it was.Do you think its safe to drive to a shop??
