So, I took my parents to the diner in my works in progress 16v, and sure as Sunday, she wouldn't start after lunch. It's like it was vapor locked, or something? It cranked and cranked, the oil pressure rose, and the battery died.

Father came back in his Lexus and tried to jump me, no dice. So, AAA came with their super jumper and it took them like 20 minutes to finally get the engine going. It's like it was bogged down with something. Any suggestions as to what it could have been? Are my plugs fowled? How could you tell if your plugs are bad/you're only running on three pistons? By the way, the car idles smoothly and I installed a new battery....
