I'm thinking it may be the valves, but if so I'm not sure on how to fix them or how to be certain. It recently stopped running so I put it up in the garage since I don't need to drive around much. I replaced the spark plugs, and put some new wires going to the injectors since they were old and cracking. Just before it died it was running poorly. It would take forever to start up and when it was going it would die at idle and if i took it on the highway it would only get up to about 60mph and couldn't go any faster. After I changed the wires and plugs I tried starting it again and no luck. Compression is good on all cylinders but when I pulled the plugs again they were completely gross looking. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John
