Fouled plug/plugs

My car wont idle......the idle starts really low like at 500 rpm and then dies slowly. i have to give it gas to keep it on. there is no vacuum leak....i checked. im thinking i fouled the plugs on my last run tonight. Im spraying so it might have something to do with it. oh and at first, i didnt realize my bottle was empty cause the pressure stayed up so i was shooting vapors the first two runs.....the car was hesistating and shuddering. what do you guys think? fouled plugs?

yeah....i was thinking that too. I changed out the tranny today and that filter looked nasty...like it had a personality and it was pissed.....so im gonna buy a new one tomorow along with the colder spark plugs. hopefully thatll make the problem go away.....i really wanna hit a 13.9 tommorow.
