Starts and runs fine when cold but after it gets warm it wont idle and i have to give it gas to start it. I checked the plugs and there is oil on them?

 

Forgot to mention that this happened shortly after a couple of pulls to 8k rpm. My buddy thinks i fukd up the head.

The only code im throwing is for Secondary Oxygen Sensor Heater (HO2S) - P0141 (circuit malfunction)


They car runs fine untill it gets warmed up. Then it dies and wont idle.

Any ideas??

 

Oil in the tubes where the plug wires are or oil on the ends of the plugs inside the combustion chamber?

 

Both. And there is quite a bit of oil

 

Well that's incredibly simple then, go to the dealer and buy a valve cover gasket KIT, will come with the seals for the spark plug tubes, you should replace the plugs as well, possibly even the wires but you can test those first at least by checking their resistance.

 

Ok thanks

But what is causing the car to die?

 

 

^Isn't it obvious? The plugs are ruined, the wires more than likely are too, had a 97 Odyssey today with the same problem, new seals and plugs, car runs fine.

 

Replaced gaskets, plugs and wires. And it still will NOT idle.

Im pretty stumped right now. Any ideas?

 

Compression test?
