Locate the exhaust manifold (header) on each side. There will be three wires spread evenly apart, located below the manifold. The wires are your plug wires (thicker than any other wires), and spark plugs are screwed into head below the manifold.

i just checked my spark plugs on the driver side and 2 were white-ish and i just had them changed in may/june.... has anyone ever heard of autoline plugs? those were in there....... the shop did it when they fixed my lifters and heads..
wat is the best type of plugs to put in it... the wires are ok just the plugs... i tried to get to the plugs on the passenger side i could reach one from the top but i guess ima have to go under to get to the rest of them.
FYI. I dont have unlimited funds lol

You said two were white, which usually indicates a lean condition (not enough fuel for the air entering combustion chamber). You said it misfires sometimes, and with the condition of those two plugs, leads me to believe the injectors for those cylinders are plugged or faulted.

This site shows plug tips, and explains what they mean. Plugs can tell you alot about how your engine is running.

Did you hook the wires back up to the right plugs? Are the wire on good? Just a couple things to check...
