#90601, "what does this mean?"


          

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?

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. emoji
