I agree with blues last post, that's really really dumb (and a rip off!) For Fuchs sake, that's $60 worth of parts. They're a pain to get at but drop the headers and you'll be done with both sides in under 2 hours.

I once worked on a truck that we couldn't quite figure out why it kept misfiring - replaced the plugs, cleaned the injectors, timed the distributor, still misfiring.

On a whim I suggested we drop the fuel tank - it was a total nightmare. Rust, mud, a rag (?!?)... Put a new tank in, truck ran perfect.

Anyway, bad gas (or not enough gas) causes problems. Lots of possibilities (I truly hope you haven't cracked your head or a cylinder wall) but I don't think that spark plugs are where to start. And ignoring a total loss of compression in adjacent cylinders is just dumb.

FWIW, I recently convinced myself I cracked the head and tried finding every article on the subject pertaining to these cars. It's virtually unheard of, even by the guys who rebuild these engines for a living. Cylinder scoring, yes. Trashed valves, yes But not head damage or blown gadgets.
