My 93 Maxima had a slight miss at idle. I changed out the spark plugs and found that the #6 plug was completely fouled. Now that I've changed the plugs, the #4 plug is missing and there's a new tapping sound to go with it. Has any one experienced this before? I could use some input before i start throwing parts at it. Any and all input will be appreciated

Thanx

Check the gap on the plugs you installed. Try to narrow down where the tapping noise is coming from (injector, valve, etc).
