Then finally this morning, I started it and it was idling like it was on three cylinders, so i removed my sparkplug wires and looked down. Cylinders 2,3 and 4 looked ok BUT on top of the spark plug on cylinder one has oil on it. Can someone tell me what that means? Thanks alot DIon BTW: its a 96 Zetec GL Tour with about 160 kms 1995 Ford Mustang GT Magnaflow Exaust Clear Corners BBK Cold Air Intake MSD Ignition Alpine Security System 2 12' Alpine Type S Subs in Alpine Box Sony 1100W Mono Amp JVC CD/WMA/MP3 Deck Sold!!! 1996 Ford Contour GL

Also cyl 1 at pass side next to timing belt cover, cyl 4 driver's side next to oil filler cap. Perhaps faulty valve cover gasket? 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km
