: What next???

I have been dealing with this engine light for a couple months....It is giving me a cylinder 1 misfire code. I have changed the spark plugs (NGK), New spark plug wires, new cap and rotor. I cleared it after every attempt, and after I few miles I get a check engine light again! It seems periodioc, as in while I am driving home the light will go off....then later on it comes back on. What do I do next?


I also changed the underdrive pulley this week, the factory one broke (Balancer seperated from the outer pulley). Now I have an oil leak that started just after replacing the pulley. It appears to be coming from somewhere in the middle of the engine, possibly near the alternator. Could the pulley breaking (or the new ASP pulley) be the reason the leak started? The wierd thing is that the dipstick shows that I am still at the full level! How can this be?


Thanks!

i think nearly everyone has had that oil leak you are speaking of. it is more than likely coming from your crank seal (front main seal). that is where mine was leaking oil from. my check engine light is also on, but my code comes up as the speedometer head. but it reads fine so i dont worry about it.
