i tightened them, but i didnt torque them to the fsm specs, i just used a socket to tighten it... any idea if a leaking valve cover gasket is causing oil to enter the cylinder?

i didnt unplug anything other than the boots from the plug.. everything else looked good.. i didnt torque the plugs though but i dont think an electrical connection is being made since the plugs are soaked with black gas/oil

nothings unplugged, i only got to those two because i couldnt reach the cyl 3+4 holes with the tools i had could there be oil or fuel in the cylinder? idk what the black fluid would be, smells like gas

wed. night i picked up 'autolite' copper spark plugs from O'reilly's, went home and changed the cylinder 1&3 plugs, the plugs i removed were worn but normallly then realized i didnt have a 3/8" u-joint so reconnected the spark plug wires to go get one when i tried to start my car up it wouldnt start.. sometimes it turns over constantly sometimes even starts to start but nothing after.. i took out the plugs i'd just put in and they smelled like gas and were covered in dark, 'oily' fluid.. i put in the original plugs and still no start, pulled those plugs and got the same dark oil fluid on them

they came back this morning, felt like i was towing a semi and it was hard to get above 55, havent got a chance to pull the codes yet though im sure its still the misfire

i replaced it with just a different MAF from a 96 ej22 and it runs now for the 40 or so miles i drove it.. i pulled codes after driving for about a half hour (freeway) and found 5: PO100 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Malfunction PO301 - Cylinder #1 Misfire Detected PO302 - Cylinder #2 Misfire Detected PO400 - MAP/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem PO106 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction i cleared these codes and drove another 15 minute's home and so far they've not come back on...what next?

sweet, ill see if that fixes it!

im not positive, but i think the MAF was from a 93 wagon

i found a MAF at the junkyard from a bunch of 1st gen legacys... will that work?

well i dont have paypal, so id have to mail cash or something so im not really sure

how much would you like for the MAF? ive been eye-ing junkyards for a legacy to come in but no luck so far

pinpointed to MAF problem.. however... is that whats causing the TCU to throw a AT Oil Temp code? or do i have an additional, separate issue
