Evo 8 engine trouble

I just replace my spark plugs and I was going down the highway and my engine lost power and i had to stop. I took the spark plugs out and the third one had its tip broke off. It still runs but smells like raw gas being dumped and at a stand still will shake and my boost gauge will also shake. Sounds almost like a rotary engine. Took it to autozone and the it read faulty valves and cylinder problems. Please tell me what im looking at I cant stand not driving my baby

^^^^ yeah what he said.


do a compression. #3 seems to be the leanest cylinder for our cars.

Good Luck
