So I started my car today, drove to the gas station about half a mile away. I walked in, didnt shut the car off. I got back in and I started home, the car started hesitating and stuttering almost. At first it wouldnt go over 3500 RPM then it wouldnt go if I pressed the gas too much, now it is in my driveway with one spark plug sitting on my table. The plug is all white, it says in my Haynes manual that it is too hot. But when I was coming home I shut the car off to see if that would help, It wouldnt start. It seems like the battery was dying. can someone help me out?

I'm pretty sure white plugs = burning coolant = blown head gasket. You should check that out.

What is it with everyone saying every problem is because of the head gasket? ^Do you sell head gaskets or something???

White plugs usually mean the car is running lean, check for cracking or chips on the plug. Next check for vacuum leaks and check to make sure your air flow meter is connected properly. If there is a CEL then figure out how to read the code.
