If your plugs have oil in the chutes you need to change the valve cover gasket . this may be your problem but it would be nice to know what code its throwing is it a p0300 or is there a cylinder attached to the code. like maybe p0301 or another code . If there's a lot of oil it can destroy the coil-pack
