Ok, update from tonight.

I pulled the leftmost and rightmost plugs and noticed that they both had a little carbon fouling (not much, just a little).  The left was worse than the right and is pictured below.

I also checked the air filter and noticed that it was pretty oily, so it's time for a new one according to my Haynes repair manual.  It's just a standard air filter (not K&N).  Do you guys recommend going with a K&N?

I plan on picking one up tomorrow along with some iridium spark plugs and decent spark plug wires to help the starting problem.
