I have seen worse plugs, but now you know where you are on spark plug maintenance.

As JFP mentioned there seems to be major vacuum leaks on the evaporator system... How does the seal on your gas cap look?

REPLACE THE GAS CAP! All those cracks on the seal are causing problems in the evaporator circuit.

Do you have all the spark plugs replaced? Have you performed the AOS test?

RE spark plugs all replaced

Yes all plugs are replaced gonna drive it longer distance in awhile, also tried placing hand over the oil filler cap and found that there is only a slight change in the idle and only slight leak appears car does not die keeps running good for most part.
