Cracked spark plugs
I have the plugs out of the car and noticed one had two full length cracks that are black in the cracks. What would this do to my performance? Would this be from tightening them wrong or could it happen from driving?

Yes this can cause the plug to loose spark and usually is due to overtightening them during install or when you are turning them angling the wrench to put lateral pressure on the plug leed.
Replace them and you should be good. Make sure to keep your socket vertical on the plug and don't pull too hard to one side.

I guess I will have to be more careful. Better not use any swivel sockets or anything thats puts more presure on one side. We will see if the car runs better once the new plugs are in.
