Also the spark plug wires are an odd light brown where they connect to the plugs. I will go to the stealership and buy new plugs/wires/fuel filter.
We will see if that sorts it out.
@Chas
I added octane boost to the gasoline, however, I will consider doing that when I replace the fuel filter tomorrow. Thanks!

Well there you go. Why are you running platinum plugs in that engine??? Run the right wires/plugs/etc....!! If they are really fouled it might be valve stem seals....have they ever been replaced?
