i have a gsr and i did a dead cylinder test and when i got to the forth cylinder my car just turn off. i took the spark plugs out and the forth plug had a good amount of oil on the tip and now my car wont turn back on. why? can someone help me? Thanks

 

anyone?

 

if there is oil on your spark plug then that means your piston rings or cylinder walls that are badly worn. but mostly it would be the oil rings

 

Or the rubber thing where the spark plug is is bad its like a rubber ring that seals

 

car was runnig good but once i did the dead cylinder test and when i got to the forth plug the car turn off. was thinking if the test draw oil, but how?


anyone?

 

Do a compression and leakdown test. That will give you some idea of the condition of the rings. Generally that isn't the problem when you have oil on the plug. The cylinders get too hot for liquid oil to accumulate unless you were driving upside down for an extended period. Most likely it is the rubber O-rings around the spark plug hole. I had this problem and had those things replaced...no more oil burn

 

very helpful info, but why wouldnt the car start thou. thanks bro

 

are you running any mods in the gsr? Did you have any oil burn when it ran? or any kind of smoke?

I'm not sure why it doesn't start. I'm currently having starting issues with my own setup so if i could answer your question and not my own, i'd be a little upset lol. Good luck...i can definitely feel for you on this one

 

lol. fosho bro thanks thou. gl to you to

 

Thanks and actually its more like good luck to the shop that now has to deal with it. I have too much shool **** to do lately and have no time to bother with it. I'm hoping to have it running soon...it's been down since Christmas 2007

 

 

damn down since 07. too much school, i know what you mean bro. will good luck to you and the shop. hopefuly it will be running soon.

i think im not getting spark that why my car wont start. today i took the forth wire+the spark plug out of the motor and grounded it, cranked it and no spark. can it be my dizzy?

 

anyone?

 

solved. car start, dizzy was bad. thanks guys.

 

if the rubber o-rings were worn wouldnt that cause oil to accumulate around the top of the spark plug where the porcelin is and around the plug wire, not on the tip of the plug and cause it to burn oil? how would the oil get past the spark plug where it seals into the head if it were leaking from the o-ring?
