The symptoms don't match anything to do with plugs. If the plugs were the problem, there'd be stumbling, etc.

The car's running rich, all the O2 in the combustion chamber is being used up before the fuel is and the excess HC, CO, and CO2 is being spit out the tailpipe. The readings that he posted are 100% consistant with a rich condition.
