i was driving, it was snowing, i have no front fender lining.

anyways i was crusiing in 4th and i go to give it gas and it doesnt go anywhere, like it stays at the speed i was going. if i down shift to third then go and shift into 4th its okay, it only does it sometimes. but has been doing it more latley, maybe something got wet? i did notice a little bit of oil in one of the spark plugs due to valve cover gasket and seals are worn, would it be that? maybe my map sensor? any idea would help

thanks

i would fix those gaskets, could be coating the plugs and causing poor firing, do that and see if it helps :thumb:

Does the check engine light come on?
I'd put the fender liners on, especially during winter. :thumb:

Linings, I can't find them anywhere, the dealership want 99$ each side.
eBay wants 40 for both buy won't ship to canada

Do a compression test.

Check ignition timing.
