Spark plugs buddy always start with the small things. My car tried to sputter out at a light because of the spark plugs that may be the problem

If you've been working on it for 4 months what have you done? This will help us give you advice as to what to do further

Don't change 1 spark plug, please change all 4.

Re: 4th cylinder misfiring.......HELP!!!!

You might wanna find out why there's rust at the bottom of the spark plug tube.. You might have a bigger problem than "cylinder #X is misfiring." Pull the valve cover and investigate man. Take pics and post 'em up..

And you might wanna invest in an infrared thermometer so you don't risk burning yourself..

Edit: Wow.. he's been waiting 2 months for responses..
