90601, what does this mean?
Posted by totaleclipse_05, Jun-15-05 11:41 PM
my engine was stuttering a little bit at lower rpm's the other day, so i checked the plug wires and they were all ok. i pulled them off and pulled out the spark plugs and 3 of the 4 were drenched with oil. i cleaned them off and put my stock spark plug wires back on (had 8 mm accel wires) and it seems to be running fine again. anyone know what that means? was it the spark plug wires?

time to replace the spark plug tube seals, its very easy, jsut get a valve cover gasket, 4 spark plug tube seals and some gray RTV sealant

exactly what he said, 20 minutes top, just be sure to tighten everything down correctly and dont start the engine for about a day. let everything properly cure

thanks a lot guys, i'll have to do that soon when i have a chance to (and when i can bum rides from people for a day). i would have searched, but i had no idea what to search for, because i didn't know what the problem was. thanks for all your prompt replies.

I would suggest doing it some Satruday afternoon when you're getting a ride to a party with a buddy or something. You don't need the full 24hours, but if it sits overnight, you should be fine. :thumbsup
