it's the new style as of less than a year ago and when my rack damper bolt was bad/out of adjustment the engine did alot of rocking at idle all the time...that isn't the case this time. Once things heat up - just a bit - like 5 blocks of driving, everything is perfectly normal. Chris

Thanks! > Yup...a lot of times with one bad plug, the engine will start, but idle slow and rough because the cylinder with the bad plug is misfiring. As the engine warms up a little bit the cylinder with the dead plug will eventually follow along. Often during the time when it's misfiring you'll see white smoke (actually unburned diesel mist) from the exhaust. Low compression on one cylinder can also cause this, but a bad plug is much more likely.
