The good news is, I think I found the problem.  The bad new is, I don't
think I can fix it.

I hunted down the spark plugs.  #1 was just sitting there, not
connected!  I pushed it on as best I could, and checked the other wires.
They all seem very loose, with a lot of side to side wiggle in them.  I
can't believe that is how they are supposed to be, is it?  How do you
fix this?

That's the good news.

The bad news is, I don't see how in hell I can possible get those plugs
out.  There is just no way, Jose, that those things can come out!
Except for #2, they are totally inaccessible, buried under wires, hoses
and manifold tubes.  I couldn't even see them, had to feel around for
them.

What were they thinking of when they designed this car???  

Do you think if I took it to a local garage, I could trust them to
change the plugs?
