Have you replaced the plug wires?

What did the spark plugs look like. Describe it to me.

Were the clean? Really dirty? Electrode eroded on it?

When the power is up have you noticed the gas mileage down? How bout raw fuel smell in oil or in the exhaust?

Are the plugs shinny white with hardly any deposits of carbon in them? Hows thecylinders look?

Those plugs are horrible, go with motorcraft platinums, found at wallmart. Those ones are good with wearing out the thin electrode tip and screwing them up.

Looks like you have a bit of flakey residue on them, maybe coolant, hows your antifreeze level been? Try the plugs I suggest and make sure the plug wires are routed properly and not right on the engine block to prevent ignition problems.
