Re: Missing

I am suspecting it's the spark plugs being coated with oil. I have a
valve cover
gasket leak. If the plugs are coated with oil, I am not getting a
spark.
Inline 2.5L 6-cyl should be a torqy motor but it feels like I am right
on
3 cylinders. I wonder if most of them are not even firing.

That would explain extremely poor MPG, lack of power, having to floor
it
to get going.

Of course I will also check the dist. cap and other items mentioned.
