When to start the car and was giving a rough idle. Then it stalled out. It did that twice before throwing a blinking check engine light. But it did start and rev'ed nicely.
So, I had a friend come over and scan it and was throwing misfires on cylinder 1 &2. Swapped coil packs with cylinder 4. Then was still throwing misfire in 1. I took out the spark plug to find it and the rest of them covered in oil. I check the newly installed valve cover gasket and it was not leaking down into the cylinders.
So now I am either looking at a faulty PCV system or failed piston rings. I am hoping for the PCV system fail. Fingers crossed yet again.
If it is the PCV the solution will be a new valve and a catch can set up to catch the excess oil.
