3400 start-up

well this is a recent problem.. earlier today I was driving around.. and for no apparent reason I just punched it- just something I do every now and then lol.

it stumbled, picked up and took off like normal. so I get up underneath the hood when we get home to check it out.. one of the spark plug wires was melted to one of the spark plugs.. and one of the spark plug wires was cracked, less than a year old.

called up auto zone and sure enough, under warranty.. so I go get my replacements and install em and fire it up.. now it has serious trouble starting and staying at idle.. but once it gets going it'll rev and drive normally-

just recently (about 10 minutes ago) I went out to fire it up to pick someone up from work.. and it gave me hell starting and once it started it was bogging alot and it farted out this black smoke I think im running rich.

coil packs? spark plugs?
