I have Quicktime 4.1.2 for Windows NT 4. The software tells me no updates are available.

Hi folks.
I am in deep kaka.
I started my engine today and it is running rough. It idles rough. It has less power. Almost seems like its running off 3 cylinders or something.
Need your input on what might be going on, if it is toast or not.

that is a quicktime video of the problem at hand.
There was no warning, or rough running before, no low oil, no coolant loss, no signs that this was coming. May be the intake gasket was making it run barely even noticably rough, but this is shaking the entire engine.
There is a slight alternating emission from the talepipe, almost like uburnt fuel or something.
Took the plug out, looked like the one closet to the firewall was wet, and possibly the plug one back from the frontmost, was slightly wet also.
It can be driven, but weak on power and I don't want to hurt anything.
Someone please help! Arg!
Andy
