Exclamation Ahh What is this problem mean

Was cruising alone at like 4k about 80 in 5 th. And it is cold but let it warm up and everything was fine. Then poof started not having much pull. Pulled over and shut it off. Stuid me looks under hood whole time system is pounding ran battery down. **** would not crank over. WEll i ws on a hill for i just pushed and poped the clutch start. There i go but what the hell. It sound horrible. Won't idle So i wait and warm it up. It is warm no smoke or steam running solid still wounds like it is just working on one rotor. So i stop at friends he says sound liek it is not getting any fire. So screw with wires while it is running to afraid it will run out of juice on the batery shocked my self. came back here and started pulling wires well this funny will run the same with only one wire running. I recently did the atf to it. Could my plugs just all the sudden go it. There was no noise nothing there is no smoke no steam just no power and what looks like no spark and several plugs. getting fire at distibutor it is later here and well my new years is ruined and i will nbot wokr on ittill the morning i am gonna pull the plugs and cehck them for fire also send me the spark plug wire positions just to check them. I hope i did not blow it i was being easy just crusing along the cruise was set and i cannot believe this. No signs of any problems this is just wierd. Any ideas?

'zactly what my engine did when it blew.

funny thing, too, was that for the previous four tankfuls I'd been putting MMO in the fuel, 1/4 quart per tankful, just for insurance. Hmm, oh well.

if you just did the atf trick, I think your plugs could be fouled. Check the plugs.
