'94 Accord 208k Cylinder #3 Not Firing
'94 Accord Sedan LX 208k
Yesterday while climbing a hill I felt a loss of power and suddenly a lot of shaking. Prior to this the car had run smoothly, but did smoke blue smoke at start up. Last night I changed out the plugs. Most had oil on them so I changed out the valve cover and plug gaskets. The smoke has since stopped, but cylinder #3 is not firing. The old plug was black, and the new one was black too after running for a minute. I know the wires are good, I didn't know better and tested the voltage with the engine running and I think I burned my multimeter out. I'm pretty sure compression in #3 is fine because I accidentally started the car without the plug in and it sounded like a really loud lawn mower or helicopter. So now that I have run the car and fixed the gaskets, if I put a brand new plug in #3 will it work? And will plugs covered in the black carbon deposit stuff still fire, or are they toast? |

Unfortunately there is one other set of seals that likely are failing at this point and causing the oil to get on the plug tops.

Are you using OEM plugs? |

See discussion athttp://honda.lioness.googlepages.com/oilinthesparkplugtubes > There is no more oil in the plug chambers. The wires are working and sparking fine. Is it possible that maybe some residue from burning oil has clogged the injectors? |
