Shakey car
Shakey car
Drove 3+ hrs on the the highway, but once I got off and started driving on the surface streets, I notice my car would shake when I'm at the stop light. Saw the service engine soon light on. When I put it in neutral, the shaking stops. Got a P0302 code. Spark plugs? If so, can I change the plugs and use the same coil packs until I get back home to change them? What brand coil packs should I use?

Re: Shakey car
Could be the spark plug or the coil pack - best way to test is to test is after replacing the plug unplug the coilpack for that cylinder while the car is running. If the rough idle stays, then you knows it the pack. You could also try moving the pack to another cylinder and see if the misfire follows.

So taking out #6, driver side back spark plug. Pulled out the socket and there was oil on it

Even tho the code was cylinder #2?..I guess. Switched #2 with #1 coil, since the code was for #2. Took it for a test drive, stick shakes at the light. Whats a good gasket to get?Is fel pro, good? Thanks for your input
Re: Shakey car
Since oil is leaking into #6, which gasket kit would you recommend?

Had to replace both valve covers, almost $1000 dollars later bc I had to get a rental to go back home bc I didn't feel comfortable driving back home. Mechanic charged 645.
