pull out the spark plugs and look. They might be loaded up with schtuff.

Can't really use too much Seafoam, I usually use the whole bottle. I bet Apeman nailed it; your plugs got fouled when you poured it in, probably those years and years of carbon build-up just breaking loose.

The best plugs to use in my opinion are Nippendenso, NGK, or Bosch. I have had nothing but trouble from Champions. AC are not much better. Change the plugs and I bet that the problem will go away. Usually does.... Junk...

Unless it's different for the older engines, I'd stay away from Bosch. Those stupid Platinum +2/+4 shroud the spark.

Bosch also makes normal sparkplugs - anything other than a single ground strap is a gimmick and a waste of money. The spark can only jump to one.

If you want better plugs, get platinums and don't worry for the next 100,000 miles.
