300E stopped starting follow up

[austent]

Problem was the car just would not start; strong gas smell, checked one plug and it smelled of gas; car sat for about a day, started up, moved it, pulled another out of the garage, started it up again and drove it in the garage. A day later, drove around got it good and warm, parked it; started up again; checked all plugs, all have same tan color on the top; only first one had a hint of gas smell, oil does not smell of gas; the only clear consistent is the orange spark from the plug; thinking it ought to be blue; poor coil wire? When it is running it is so smooth you can't feel or hear it in the car and that is with over 214k! I think I will replace the coil wire and check the spark. Any special specs on the coil wire I should pay attention too? Anyone have any thoughts? I don't like not knowing what happened. David
