alright, so I got five new bosch plugs from a parts house around here, slapped them in, and all is well. Starts like it's 1982 again. I have yet to test the plugs I pulled out, but if I find any that are good, they're going into my 300d. Thanks for all your help guys

1982 300d -Adolf- Got it for 500 bucks from a guy that thought he knew how to make biodiesel. Even the best diesels won't run on burnt french fry ends! 318,000 and counting
1982 300cd -Erwin- 107,000 miles! The most fun you can have in a diesel. Wrecked by an idiot, massive insurance payout for me. Tough to see you go, my friend.
1983 300d -Katrina- Another five hundred bucks. Straight outta New Orleans, by way of Maryland. Work in progress. 291,000 and counting
