Compare appearance of those plugs with that of plugs from other cylinders. If they look like running rich you could try having the injectors pressure cleaned.

Pull the distributor cap and have look. Those cylinders fire one after the other so could be something in there messing with your timing.

Did you have these symptoms before the plug wires were changed? As trivial as this may sound, is the plug wires in the correct order?
