It's a stock KADE (93).

Just out of no where the motor starts to shake violently hard and won't pick up speed during acceleration but it idles steady

So far, I checked the spark plugs/wires and noticed a massive amount of oil on them and inside (more than others in cylinder #2), not good. Maybe that's causing the problem???

I'll be replacing the valve cover gasket and plug seals for the oil leaks
And try to get new plugs/wire or maybe just do a full tune up (new caps/rotors/wires ect.)

What else should be looked at?

I didn't see any smoke when the problem first started

But after taking out the plugs to check/clean them and installing everything back and started the car back up, I did see some smoke from the exhaust and same thing happens..

UPDATE!! Car is fixed.

Replaced the spark plugs, wires and valve cover gasket and seals with new ones.. nothing.

Problem came back! WTF??

Its injector #1 again still..

What can cause it to fail? Could it be electrical? how would I check?

check the wiring for the injector look for corrosion, bare wire signs of burn ect ect
