Oil In the Spark Plug Wells....
I got a 92 Civic LX(Auto) with 183,000 miles & have had my Civic for 4 months now(Proud Owner BABY:cool: ).
Today I was driving home from work & I noticed my acceleration was kinda lacking like something was holding it back like I was pulling a trailer or something. I didn't have anything in the back seat or in my trunk except my tool set.(which is only the size of a briefcase). There was no CEL at all. So when I got home I went through the Haynes troubleshooting steps for "Stumbling Acceleration"..checked my fuses & fuel pump..they were good...Next was the spark plugs & wires. When I pulled out my Spark Plug Wire there was alittle bit of oil on the tips but it wasn't soaking in oil...BUT when I pulled my spark plugs 3 out of 4 were soaked in oil(the bottom half anyway). I plan on getting new spark plugs, wires & plug seals tomorrow, but here's my question: Now that I know there's oil in the spark plug wells..Do I need to get the oil out of there? Or Do I install just install the new spark plugs & let the oil burn off(if it does burn off)? I'm not sure how much oil is down in the wells. I was gonna take a rag & just put it down in the wells to get as much of the oil out as I can, but I don't know if I should because little fabrics might get stuck down there. Also, my civic has been "jerking" randomly when it comes to a stop(No CEL) & may have to do with the oil on my spark plugs..But what else should I look at for the jerking? I've already replaced my Main Relay, Fuel Filter, Distributor, All my belts(Timing too), Flushed Coolant, and Transmission Fluid. Thank you in advance! |
it wont hurt anything it will burn off, but make sure you change those spark plug tube seals and a new valve cover gasket.
