I need some help! Check engine light came on. I took it to auto zone and the guy there told me I had a code 302 p (missfire in cylinder #2). I checked my wire, it was good. I changed my plug, no difference. My car runs like shit, bad idle and sputters in the lower RPMs. THANKS

hmm do a compression check to see whats up with that #2.. also check the coil... how do the plug look like ?

The plug looked a little worn but not to bad so I went ahead and replaced it. I also noticed oil on one of my other plugs,I think #4.Is this also going to be a problem or should I not worry.

The oil is just becuase the spark plug gaskets are prob shot, not a big deal but over the course of the year they need to be changed. If you changed the plug and its ok then I would try to change the wires or atleast check them with a voltmeter (see your chiltons) if its the coil pack I would assume it would give 2 cylinder misfires, I thought that its paired 2x2 in the coil pack, like 1&3 are the same coil and 2&4 are the same.

yah if there is oil on your spark plug that gasket is not good anymore.. so when u do changed it replace all of them, and your valve cover gasket... like i said, check your coil it wont hurt...compression test is always good, i forgot what could be wrong internally or the top end if you have a misfire in a certain cylinder.. i think its the valve or something, but lets hope its not anything big...

My guess is that this is like the other guy who posted in the section about a misfire... some oil got in and spoiled an ignition componant, such as a wire, or a coil pack, or something like that.

Dark0ne95: GO right fucking ahead.

I'v recently replaced my spark plug gaskets. The oil was on the bottem of my plug(were it sparks).I don't think its my gaskets and pray its not my valve. If it is, how much am I looken at to be fixed. Well I guess its back to the hunt, THANKS alot for all the good info.

just try resetting the battery (or did you have the autozone guy reset the CEL) maybe its just a one time thing, happened in g/f neon and reset battery and its never come back

Going after the battery right now, also i noticed that when my a/c is on my idle keeps droping down to about 6-700 and then goes back up and sounds like its going to die.I think if my car dosnt die on its own IM GOING TO KILL IT MY SELF!!!!!!!!!

Its probably a lifter. It happened to me, one of them came off track and wouldnt close. It ran like shit. Its all better now.
