Oily spark plugs
« on: 21 November 2003, 13:00 »
When i check my spark plugs, there was oil down there, this affect the car starting when cold and also the performance, the car struggles abit if you put your foot down. Has anyone else had this problem.

Get a compression test done, oily spark plugs can be a sign of worn bores/rings or valve guides.
