all kinds of problems

all right guys nobody over at team fc3s could help so someone said ask over here. the cars a 90 GXL auto, its fouling out plugs in 15 minutes and dieing (top plugs blistered white bottoms burnt black, BRAND NEW plugs) . it stalls when i put it in gear if i dont keep my foot on the gas. its surging form 200-800 rpm and becoming hard to start after it dies. i had a rotary shop check the compression they said its a little low but allright. ive had the damn car about a year and have driven it only about 75 miles, every time ifix a problem it mutates into some thing else. ask me any pertinant Q's if you need more info, i could really use some answers. thanx

"Blistered white" could mean coolant is burning in the combustion chamber.

white = coolant
blue = oil
black = gas

God I've seen that about 10 times in the past 2 days
Not on my car, just on the forum
