That'* a good question. There isn't a code 58 specified in techinfo. Hang around a bit...

Check again and see if there were any more codes after 58. Keep watching until you get 6 12'* in a row.

A blown plug tip? I hope the fragments didn't damage anything in the cylinder, like a valve for instance. You may have far more serious problems, especially if all your plugs were oil fouled.

When was the last time you replaced your PCV valve? Code 58 is a Vats (or Passkey) fault. Try another key if you have one, or clean the contacts on your resistor pellet AND the contacts in the ignition switch.

Are you getting a security light?

Judging by the damaged plug, I'd bet you killed an intake valve. It would explain the rest of your symptoms.

Code 58 may be bull, as alot of 92'* have that problem for some reason.
Are you sure the PCV valve was installed correctly?

How could an intake valve cause that puff?

You've already stated your plugs are oil fouled. You have oil in your cylinders. The plug tip damages a valve, so that it can't fully close. As the cylinder comes up on compression stroke, the oil is pressed up into the lower intake.

Just a theory, but it makes alot of sense. To fix it (assuming I'm right) you better be very familiar with pushrod engines and buy a maintenance manual. Depending on the mileage of the motor, most people would replace the whole motor for something like this. There may be other hidden damage, like scored cylinder walls, etc.
