Thanks so much guys. Especially Art and JWalker and whoever else was helping me out. You guys rock!!!

It was a combination of problems.

The main problem.

Spark plug #3 was bad. The ceramic stuff around the tip inside the engine was half gone. This was the cause of the misfire, lack of power, and I guess the gas smell coming from the exhaust.

The minor problem.

Several of the intake manifold bolts were pretty loose. So I tightened them up.

All is good with the world again with steady idle with no engine shake.

I'm tired. Hopefully I can go fishing this weekend instead of working on the car.

Tom
