for some reason just lately, the car seems to be coughing and farting when in the low rev range (idle to 1700 rpm) this happens both when driving at 50-70k's in drive and also when taking off. i've changed spark plugs, fuel and air filter, checked the coil and leads and now i'm wondering could it be either starving or flooding? any advice would be very appreciated:b:

pull one of the plugs out of it, what colour is it ?
black = rich
tan = fairly right
white = lean
i'd be leaning toward lean giving the popping and farting sounds .... but rich could also do that
