Default Engine Stuttering - Help

Okay guys ... I posted the below about a wk ago.

"Whatsup guys, I recently bought an Accord for my little bro.

It is a 95 Accord LX, non vtec engine. The people that I bought it from had the car sitting for TWO years (yes years). I bought the car, and drove it home. Only problem with the car (when I bought it and I knew about) was it was throwing a CEL. Next day I changed the oil, filter, spark plugs and added fuel injector cleaner in gas tank. Car started throwing out white smoke, it went away after it warmed up. Also when I changed the plugs, I noticed oil on them. The car drives fine (even with CEL on), idle is fine, drives fine. Idle only goes down when you turn the steering wheel (in park). I'm planning on changing the tranny fluid soon also."


Basically the o2 sensor was bad, and I changed it. CEL went away. I still have not changed the valve gasket/spark plug gasket (Which was diagnosed by fellow H-T'rs having faced the same problem! Thnx). I drove the car from buddies home to mine and the car now idles really low (shakes) when I'm at a stop (in PARK and D4).

Do you guys think this has to do with the oil leak/gasket not sealing properly?

I'm beginning to w0rry ... I will changed the gaskets tomorrow btw

is the oil on the plugs on the top or on the electrode itself?

no, fixing the spark plug seals will not resolve this problem.

Do you still have the smoke coming from it?

You can try two things. Removing and cleaning your IAC valve or raising your idle by turning the flathead screw on your throttle body near the intake tube (probably covered by a thin film of rubber)
