Thanks, I was thinking this might be the issue. I'm going to order another spark plug just in case I messed up the one in cylinder 4. The process of getting to the plugs took so long for a noob like myself, I don't want to tear everything apart more than 1 time (already upset with myself that I've gotta do it again).

While I was at it, I was going to buy come MAF cleaner. I changed my oil at the same time, and I think I read somewhere that the filter can get oil onto the MAF somehow?

BTW: I didn't clean out any of the carbon (I think it was carbon, definitely not oil) that I found in the cylinders. Should I have cleaned this out while changing plugs, or is this normal?
