Running Rough. . .
This morning when I started my car it was running really rough. Last time I started it up, it was fine. It just sounds like it had extra vibration in it. I thought it might be the spark plugs, so I pulled the wires one at a time - they all sparked and made a difference in the way the engine was sounding, but #2 there was no change and no spark. Ideas?

Re: Running Rough. . .
Pull the spark plug and tell us what color the insulator is.
