big problems: with pics

okay.. so i finally got to tearing into some stuff since my car was flashing a CEL..

i figured, misfire since i could feel it hestiate/etc..

i took out 6 plugs, cleaned em.. installed em again (just checking) and i found that they're all covered in oil..AND one of the wires were off (which is what made the CEL flash, prolly)


so i figured ill show you guys the pictures of the plugs and you couljd tell me whats going on w. my broken car.

im going from 1-4 on passenger front to back
5-8 driver, f-b

i forgot to take a pic of 8..but it was clean. (That was the un-fired plug)

figures, huh ? i go through almost all of em before i find out i just had a wire loose :/

Ouch, is it smoking a lot? With that much oil on them I wold think you have a decent oil leak. Could be getting pass the valves.

you know, thats the funny thing.. my car doesnt smoke a bit..? its kind of weird. and there seems to be like weird deposits all over my plugs.. and ive never had those on them before.

One observation here, plug 6 looks to have anti-sieze residue a bit high on the thread, as if too much was used on install.

Second observation is the consistancy of the build up around the tip, kinda like the valve covers leaked or are leaking, and the plug scrpaed up the oil going in (should have burned off), or more likiely coming out. :2cents:

I would pull the new plugs in a few hundred miles as see what's up with them.

ohh. that weird residue is anti-sieze? damnit. lol

Yeah, when it get's old it looks like watered putty loaded with phlem boogers.

What do you think is in your oil pan or did I miss something above? Are you talking about the residue on the plugs? Maybe you need an engine flush or something. I have heard mixed reviews about getting them done but they do get the sludge and stuff out of the motor.

To flush the engine, drain the oil and change the filter and fill it with cheap oil minus 1 quart. In place ofthat quart, add a quart of Ford auto trans fluid. Drive the car for 15-20 minutes (not hard driving). While the oil is still very warm, drain it and change the filter. Put in your normal oil and drive like normal. Ford trans fluid has LOTS of strong detergents in it and they will break down any deposites in the engine and allow them to drain out. It will also free up any stuck oil control rings on the pistons too.

ohh no no. sorrry. its cuz i broke off( ?) a piece of the oil level sensor? i think? my sensor came back weird shaped.. like theres something missing. unless thats how the stock sensor is supposed to look.. it was jammed so i yanked on it a little (it was hitting the cat so i angled it) and then it came out. now im just afraid theres something inside the oil pan and that it might jam up the oil pump.. causing some catastrophic failuire @_@

There is a pick up screen to protect the pump, but , all things equal, better safe than sorry.

those are some hot women I will agree with the blown thing car is ok but I like the women better.
