Spark plugs can be a bit like people 3 months ago they could be fine but if they had a bad dose of too much fuel due to a cam sensor out of action they could be dead as door nails.

If they look black and wet they will short out your spark and will not start your engine. puff puff puff sounds like it could be your spark plugs.

If the spark plugs look clean and dry then it's probably not your plugs.

Its all about continuity. A spark plug can look fine but if it has been dropped, even from a short height, it can be stuffed.

I had dead spark plugs in my Nissan V8 a year ago, ECU dumped fuel due to bad tune and cold night. All 8 dead. So you guys may be right! With LS1
