Well as you all know I just got back from Vegas, I know I know you all think I lost all of my money don't you. Well that's not it at all, I actualy won about $800 at the black jack Well I get home and my sister tells me my car is running funny, I let her use the car while I was gone. So I go for a drive and I'm like what the F&%# is wrong!!! I can tell that something is wrong with one of the cylenders, eather it is not fireing or it's not getting fuel. I was hopeing it was not fireing but that was not the case. I pull all of the spark plugs out and when I get to cyl. #3 what do I see, a melted spark plug It looks like my injector is realy cloged or is just realy messed up. I'm going to pull it out and try soaking it and I'll hope that works otherwise I have to get a new injector, well realy I'll just get a whole new set which I don't want to do now. Also as I continued to take the remaining spark plugs I find in #4 a bunch of oil on the spark plug, now this is great, I have to replace my head gasket to. On top of all that it's about time to replace the timeing belt and water pump. Well looks like I'm going to be spending alot of time working on my car in the next few months. One good thing is that when I pull my heads off I'm going to have them ported and polished

Sorry it's so long but I'm really pissed and just had to vent.

That sucks. You probably should have told your sister not to mess with the nitrous system Anyway, it should be better then ever once you get it all fixed.

She wishes, I haven't had the NOS filed in about two or three months so I know it wasn't from that.

some oil is normal on the plug. its if its covered is when you worry about it.

you should change all plugs and run the car located the faulty cylinnder and check the coil pack for spark then move on to the injector.

There is a lot of oil on #4 and I did locate the falty cylender it is in fact #3, that was the only one with the melted spark plug. I don't think that if there wasn't any spark it would detonate, I maen the plug is realy melted so it has to be reuning extreamly lean in that cylender. This has to be an injector problem, either it's toast or realy cloged.

I have had oil gather around the plugs, kinda scary looking but this was way before my HG ordeal. Cyl #3 might be running hot because that is where the HG's notoriously fail. Good luck on your repairs. I just got my car running today after nearly 2 weeks of being worked on for the HG and various other problems. I need to run it softly for 500 miles, change the oil again and then I will see if I notice any difference with the P&P and 3 angle valve job.

well, tested all of the coils and they are OK, I also cleaned the injector so I hopeing that was the problem. If not then it looks like I need a new injector.
