Oil in Spark Plugs Please Help
If you mean oil in the spark plug wells, that's due to leaking spark plug seals on the valve cover gasket. This might be enough to 'kill' the spark to the plugs and cause your no start condition. Soak up the oil and replace the plugs. It should start. Then get to someplace that will replace the seals (about $2 each plus labor) if you don't feel mechanically inclined enough to do it yourself. If you mean oil in/on the firing tips of the plugs, you've got something more serious going on like bad rings or valve stem seal$.
yeah the moter is crap. i know the piston seals leak cause burning mad oil. just dont have a place to do the swap. i checked plugs no spark. i'll replace them then see.. thanks though

gee I posted the sam eproblem in my car a while back and nobody suggested anything aside fromthe plug seals.
BTW according to the manual only replace the seals if they look deteroriated.
Mine looked good and I replaced them and I still have the oil problem.
Yes I happen to have the problem still.
The oil is in the firing tips of the plug so my 3rd cylinder isn't going I would believe since the oil is in the tips of the plug.
So how do I rectify theis problem?
