Well over the weekend I went out and got some NGK BR7EF plugs because I heard Tim recommended them. Ever since they were installed the car hesitatesfrom a stop before it gets going and feels really sluggish below 3000rpm. This morning I got on it and then slowed down to a stop light. When the light turned green the car wouldn't go past 2000 rpm with the pedal to the floor and white smoke was everywhere coming out of my exhaust. After I got going it did ok and didn't do it again after that. I was thinking that when I got on it and let off that the car was still trying to burn off the excess fuel and when I went to go again it flooded it? What do you guys think I'm kind of scared?

White smoke is water/coolant I believe burning so maybe there's a fluid leak somewhere? Although that doesn't jive with the engine bogging

Had a very similar thing happen with my last plug change. The scariest part was having the throttle wide open and not accelerating at all. I removed all the boots and there was a ton of debris and all sorts of junk in and on the coils themselves. Might want to try to pull them out again, clean em and put some dielectric grease on the ends of them all. I did this and my problem came to an end. I know I am not supercharged, but a miss is a miss.
