In all the 240's ive owned since i was 14, I have never had this happen.

I got in my car to drive home tonight, it was shaky at idle. When i went to take off (normally, not hard) it was sluggish and stuttering kind of like in limp mode. I got home and disconnected the MAF plug and reconnected it, nothing. I said hell and started pulling the plug wires to make sure they were seated well...got to the third plug wire....oil...like texas.

Wouldnt be headgasket? engine temp is normal, just obviously no spark from the plug...

Im going to tear it down tomorrow and see whats goin on, but i was just curious if anyone has any idea on this as I have never had this happen before.

I ran into this problem once, but i didn't know about it until my car was running on 3 cylinders and i had fouled about $100 worth of spark plugs. Thanks for overfilling my oil VIP. Might wanna check the oil and make sure it isn't so overfilled that it's pooling in the head.

I know it isnt overfilled, I do my own oil.

The gasket was old and hard, yadda yadda. I was half tempted to break the whole engine down and get ready for a AMS rebuild package...but the mrs. wasnt havin it.

plus i got stung on the hand by a bee
