Greetings, I am a new Neon owner (1997 Sedan 5-spd 2.0 SOHC) and I got a CEL with 2 codes. The 1st one I was aware of from the previous owner which is the EGR valve however the 2nd one was Culiner #1 misfore. Since I am familiar with these things I pulled the #1 Spk plug and when I got it out there was oil down in the "tube" that goes down into the manifold. Not alot and my oil level was normal and there was no oil on the area below the treads of the plug. Is this normal????? If not does it pose a potential problem or do I just leave it alone?

 

i think that that would probally be spark plug tube seals. im pretty sure it is but dont quote me on it

 

your problem is that one of your spark plug tube seals in bad...
just get a new valve cover gasket and it will come with them..
simple fix

 

could cause a misfire and foul up you wires.

 

Roger That My friend. Looks as though I have a project this weekend.

 

would this problem cause the car to die? i have same problem but my car wont run very long

 

misfires can make your car die, it depends on how badit isand how many cylinders
