Default Fixing 'the engine miss' - '97 4cyl

OK, the '97 Accord has had a miss especially bad at idle with the A/C on;
wife would have to put it into N at a light to not-stall it sometimes.

OK, wife complained again to me as summer appeared, so I pulled the plug leads and two had oil on them.
New valve cover gasket, plugs and wires. Misses no more. Wife happy.

Hope your car's engine miss is as easy to fix.

There is a o-ring in the spark plug tubes it often leaks. You may want to check in a couple weeks and see if the oil has returned. Hopefully it has not. Our 96 leaks there its fairly common along with the valve cover leaking. I usually just pull the plugs every 15k miles let the oil drain into the engine and put the plugs back in. Someday Ill get around to fixing it.
