1) Bent spark plug ground straps.
2) Aluminum-colored deposits on spark plugs (if the chip happened recently).
3) Misfire due to a slightly bent valve (what happened in my situation along with #1)

Yes, you can replace the plugs and drive for awhile. But you will use oil and the mileage will suffer. But you can get by if they are not chipped too bad.
