[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4021745, member: 15054"] Could be the valve cover seals are allowing oil to contaminate the plug wires. That will do it as will too large of a spark plug gap. My 1.8 Corolla engine called for .032" gap and it misfires and you can see the faint carbon tracking lines on the spark plugs. I tried many different plug types with No success and just ended up setting gap at .025" and the problem went away. I have changed my timing belt every 60 to 90 thousand miles and slap in a crank and cam seal while I am in there. Got it down to less than 1 hour start to finish but it is a 4 cylinder. I do not like a V6. [/QUOTE]
