Hopefully it took care of the misfire.


It might helpful to put the vehicles info. in your signature, year, engine size etc....

keep trying on the pics Dking... so the gaskets were replaced, coils and plugs removed and cleaned/dried, then fired up and runs good now? A coil (or coil) may have gone bad from the constant inundation from oil and may need replaced. Thankfully, codes can tell which coil exactly.

Let us know.

congrats on the pics and repairs!

If you want big pics from the attached thumbs you upload, edit your post (or before you actually hit POST), right click on thumb, copy link location, then paste that link into the box when you click the INSERT IMAGE icon again. Just a tip.
