Ok so my 2003 which I maintain constantly started up just fine and when I started driving it seems like its struggling, (skipping, bogging) not sure how to describe it,, I'm praying its nothing more than a spark plug, any thoughts?

 

Is the check engine light on and if it is. Is it flashing when you are driving?

 

Its always on,

 

I'm going to change the plugs and hope that it I'm just wondering if there's anything else it could be

 

have the codes from the CEL read, it should NOT be on if the truck is constantly maintained.

if we have the codes we can point you in the right direction because struggling could be an issue in many many places

 

i changed the plugs and it stopped the struggling,i think it was obviously missed on the one cylinder (spark) however- one of the plugs had oil on it? what could that mean?

 

it would help very much to know which cylinder it came out of, it is possible someone spilled oil into the opening by mistake, it also depends on where on the plug the oil is, we need more information that you are giving us.

also find out and tell us what the CEL codes are THEY CAN BE VERY HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i am the only one who does work on it and i wouldnt have spilled oil in it- its the drivers side plug back by the steering wheel (as far as CEL codes and all that) i'm not "that" mechanically inclined, just know basics - and the oil on the plug was at the bottom of it (inside) the plug hole if that helps any

 

take your D to autozone and have them read the codes for you FOR FREE and bring it back and tell us what they are!

 

will do- thanks for the advise- how long will it run normally before the plug gets oil in it again? just asking so i know if i can make it until the weekend - thanks for all the help guys
