Does your car have a standard coil and is it old?

What  exactly happens in the cold?

So I checked the plugs.  Three were  perfect in color and gap.  Number two 
was black and wet, not from today  as it never fired.  I cleaned it up and 
the car started on the first  pull.  I checked that plug again after the 
engine was warm and it was dry  but sooty.  There is no missing or any other 
sign of firing  problems.

How can one plug be rich without missing?
