    If you changed the plugs thinking it would solve this total engine failure...............you obviously don't know anything about what you are dealing with here. Not meaning to insult you, just the facts.

    You need a qualified shop or dealer to diagnose it.
    At 15 years old, it could be most anything.

    Don't be surprised if the cost is too high to justify fixing it.
