why would this make my car misfire?

[1999Spectre]

ok so i was doin my oil change and basic up keep of the engine, and since my engine has never been flushed, i decided to run some of that gunk remover through it before i changed the oil. i was supposed to put it in, and start the engine and let it run for 5 min. then drop the oil and do a normal oil change. everything was fine untill i went out later that night when i drove it(i didnt drive it again till that night) and my car was misfiring HORRIBLY. would that engine cleaner have fouled out a spark plug?

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

if that oil stuff fouled a spark plug up, you have REAL problems.

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

what do mean REAL problems? couldnt i just cahnge that spark plug and thats it? the plugs only have a 1000 miles on them anyway

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

its not like that plug just hapened to get fouled up.. basically if that oil **** is coming anywhere like. near those plugs (close enough to touch them)... uhhhh
you have "REAL" problems

i mean i could be wrong and it may just be what 97rs4life says..

but there should be nothin but gas fumes and air in that little space being compressed..

did you take out the plug and check it out?

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

Ya, you probably just need to change the plug. Like 97RS4life said, you probably just freed up some carbon in your engine which ended up getting in and fouling the plug. Replace it and all should be good.

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

agreed with radracer.... what blip is saying real problems he means that you should not have any oil in the combustion chamber...only the injected fuel and air should be in there

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

ah got you, ive still had to drive my car but ive been taking it VERY easy while driving. untill i can get a new plug and change it (tomorrow)

[95redslp]

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

how long has it been since you changed all your plugs / wires etc. ? might be beneficial to do this... unless you just want to solve the problem first haha

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

1k or less ago lol

yeah, it could def. be a loose wire or something like that

[1999Spectre]

Re: why would this make my car misfire?

ok, i got under the car today, the wire was fine, i took out the plug and it looked normal, but i changed it anyway. its not missing at all really, but if i mash the throttle it misfires not as bad as it was but still pretty bad, thats only at full throttle though. any ideas/suggestions?
