Hi all,
the wife went to the parts store the other day and brought home plugs and a fuel filter insisting she needs a tuneup. Well, it's been sputtering a little bit and the check engine light started comming on sometimes. I got the plugs changed ok, gapped them @.35". Noticed a lot of oil (a few drops) accumulated around the top of the plug???? Is that normal?
Now I can't find the fuel filter. Found a device called an accumulator. Help please :banghead:

The oil around the plugg is nothing to be very concerned with. It's just the spark plug tubes leaking a bit, and doesn't cause any real problems.
The fuel filter is back near the fuel tank. It's kinda big and kinda expensive (around $35, IIRC), but only should be changed every 100K or so.
