Well im having a couple of problems with my coupe. It shakes, is ALOT slower, its obnoxiously louder than before, and feels like its ready to just give up. I pulled all the spark plug wires and cylinder 1 makes no change when i pull it out. I was guessing that i have a bad spark so when i pulled them out to replace them there was oil on all four. So now im not really sure what might be the problem. Thats where you guys come in. Anybody have any ideas?

P.S. Im currently internet..less so i wont be able to reply until the 20th (Ill have dsl by then.).

change the seals on the spark plug tubes in the v/c. then get some new plugs/wires and check it again. have you tested to see if the wire is at least getting spark?

get a spark plug wire tester. or just use the ol screwdriver in the end of the wire trick. i would get one of these....



or better yet....



because you can use it on either end of the plug wire.
