blocked cat will cause sooty plugs replace cat then check for misfire minor misfire wont damage cat but dont drive till sure its gone.you can check leads by coating in wd40 cranking engine and if a lead is shorting the spark will ignite the wd and blow the lead out (stand well back)replace as a set.
