main relay

try pulling the main relay out, then pulling the cover off. Then resolder all of the solder points. Hopefully it will fix it.

did this happen right after you fixed your plug seals? is your firing order correct, are the plugs/wires properly seated?

if you have oil on the plugs and have little money you can simply burn them off with a propane torch, also you may want to fix the problem, get new plug seals and rtv and fix your oil on plug problem. and take our advice posted above.
