check your main relay it may be in default it is the signal that sends the gas pump is located below the driver side dash give me the new
SOURCE: New temp gauge spark plugs, gas filter-Radiator engine still hot
on ur firing issue check all ur plug wires,distributor cap and rotor button (if equipped), if u have individual coils for each cylinder u need to check each plug wire for fire by disconnecting it from the sparkplug. Take a screw driver and insert in the open end of the wire and hold it close to, say the intake or anything metal, while a buddy cranks the engine. there is also a spark testing tool that u can pick up @ any parts house for about $15.
The temperature issue sounds like a thermostat problem, it might not be opening all the way.
The bulging of the motor might be a result of not having all cylinders firing.
Worstcase scenario with this kind of milage and the symptoms that u r describing is maybe head gasket blown or also piston rings worn. ( That would explain the oil on the plugs and bulging).
If i can help u any further e-mail me @ [email protected]

You spent some money it would appear for professional
help,as you said you had things done,so you didn't do
those items yourself for some reason
Do you not ask questions at the repair shop or go back to
have the job done correctly?
That said, it is getting old,so don't expect too much in the way
of milage on an old & worn motor
