the other day i went to turn on my crx and it would not start up.. it would crank but i would not start up it would back fire on me and choke... when i did get the car to start the whole eninge would shake from side to side.. i check my spark plugs and three of them have oil in the tips and all around the tread i was wodering what those that mean? bad piston rings or bad head gasket? now the gsr wont start it will only back fire and choke... please help me out i need info of whats causing the problem asap. i dont have another car to ride on..

 

is the oil in the spark plug tubes also
if so replace the valve cover gasket set which will come with spark plug tube seals also

 

no there is no oil in the spark plug tube only in the tips and the treaded area of the spark plug what does this mean?

 

you need to check compression first see what it is
if it is low it is rings
if it was a head gasket your oil and coolant would be mixed
take your radiator cap off and start it up if coolant shoots out it is head gasket

 

Any codes?
I would check your timing. You may have jumped a tooth.

 

firing order? sure it's oil, it could be fuel on the plugs.

 

rocker arm assembly O rings.. probably not the right name.. but not many people seem to konw about it.. there was a post about this last week.. one guy knew what it was and the proper name.. if theres no oil on the tube walls i bet thats it. mine does the same thing

 

i check timing im and its on timing i check my dizzy and my spark plug wires make sure they have spark and they all work.. one thing i notice my spark plugs dont have any more oil the have lots of gas and when i take them out they smell like too... what is that suppose to tell me? i dont know but my car throws out bombs threw the throttle bodies i feel like it was to blow up in flames when ever i crank the eninge.
