I pulled the plug wires to replace to NGK wires, and there all 4 filled with oil. I changed them out and it woud'nt start just click than nothing, wait a bit and than the car electrics will kick back on stereo, dash etc, and i'm able to ATTEMPT to start it. How do I get rid of the oil? Whats the problem and how do I fix it? And is that my issue with it not starting now? Getting into Honda's now, but keep having little issues lol. Any help would be great.

 

What engine do you have in your Accord, VTEC or Non VTEC?

There are spark plug tube seals on these engines that need to be replaced. Over time they can dry out or crack. If they are not replaced, or if they were replaced incorrectly, they will allow oil to leak into the spark plug tubes.

You will need a complete valve cover gasket kit for your engine. The Non VTEC F22B2 engine has a set of upper gaskets that go between the valve cover and the tops of the spark plug tubes and then there are also O-rings located between the rocker assembly and the cylinder head that should also be replaced. The VTEC F22B1 only has the upper spark plug tube seals.



F22B2 engine;
Yellow = Upper seal
Red = Lower O-ring

F22B1 engine;
Only has the red upper seal

If you are looking to replace these gaskets and seals yourself. I would get an Accord shop manual. Google "Honda Accord CD7 CD9 Service Manual" and haveatter!

 

a good need to know.

 

your spark plug tube seals probably caused that. ijust changed mine out a week ago same issue. before you replace the spark plugs you should make sure the ooil is completely cleaned out. i used shop rags took a while but got it cleaned up nd replaced my plugs and wires to. changing out the valve cover gasket and tube seals is pretty simply but that shoul prevent the leak if done correctly. and make sure your plugs are going to the correct places and connections.

 

Could this cause the spark plug wires to pop out of the engine? My car overheated and when i checked under the hood they had popped out and oil had splatted out as well.
