First Off... Sorry for the long message.

I must have screwed a spark plug in crooked and stripped on the head. It has been siting for a couple weaks while my Time-Sert / Big Sert kit came in...and it has been fixed.

I started it today and it was undriveable. The RPMs would raise...then falling till it almost stalled...then they would raise again. It did this consistantly for the few mins it was running.

Here's the weird thing... The upper intake/throttle body was ICE-COLD the while it was running. Afterwards I checked inside the TB/Upper Intake and it was soaked with gas ( I hope ).

Any Ideas? I'm getting worried here... The car was running fine before the spark plug poped out. I drove it home for almost 50 miles...if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
any time you start up a car after it's been sitting for a while, it's going to run rough for the first few. it'll definatly run rough if you had the battery unplugged for that time cuz it has to relearn everything.

i think a little fluid is normal, i have some in mine the times i check it. my understanding is it's normal.
 
I know...and expected it to run rough. But not like this. If I gave it gas it would sputter...bog...and almost cut out. It was not driveable...even after running for a few. I tried to start it later on and it backfired. And the freezing upper intake and TB is what gets me... Nothing adds up.
