Well i was just driving and i noticed that my car was shaking, i was near a shop so i just went and got my oil changed, problem still was there. So i went home and did a few tests, and i decieded to check to spark plugs, and this is what i come to find out.

One Spark Plug Is Dry and has no oil.


You can see how it looks compared to the other ones, but im not sure if this would be a problem. Can someone help me.

 

You need a new valve cover gasket, there should not be any oil on your spark plug wires.

 

what can cause oil to be on them then? all i remember is trying to take off the valve cover so that i can paint it, i pryed it just a little bit but stopped. and put it back to place. I also forgot to mension that i disconected some air tubes but i put them back into place. And the problems didnt concist until after i tryed that stuff yesterday.

 

How much would a new gasket cost? and what normally causes it to wear>?

 

So the shaking didnt start until you tried to remove your valve cover correct?

Its made of rubber and it rots and it also didnt help that you took the valve cover loose. You need to replace the spark plug tube seals not the valve cover gasket but you should do it anyway while your in there. Also you could have a bad plug wire and the puddle of oil is causing it to ground out to the motor if that makes sense to you.

If you removed vacuum lines did you make sure to put them back where they came from and that you didnt rip any of them as that would cause a bad idle problem.

 

yeah i put the lines back together. but how serious is this problem?
