Could be, thats they way ours started before it started sucking every bit of the coolant out of the radiator.

make sure the knock sensor is pluged in all the way. they are hard to get in right. i changed mine and it was runing like crap and figured i got a bad sensor but when i got back under there i could see it wasnt in all the way and pushed it in futher and she ran fine again.

Default head gasket..!

Well, i still couldnt get around to changing plugs n wires, Its been raining..! Its raining like crazy here it's been a week..!!! pretty rare for soCal..! lol

About problem being the head gasket,
I dont see any white stuff on my coolent reservoir, and engine does not get hot. and there's no white smoke either..! so I kinda doubt that. I was wondering how I could tell if its engine oil leaking...! anyone has ideas?? It'll be sat or next mon until i'll be able to change the plugs n wires..!

Default Oil burning.

Thx crabby, but what i meant is can oil be leaking in to the combustion chamber, r something like that????? There is an oil leak, i mentioned it in my initial post, but if oil is leaking from just the lower pan, that wouldnt cause the misfires right???

im not a car person..! so help me..! lol

need to get the plugs and wires finished to make sure thats not it. oil shouldnt make it misfire unless the plugs are fouled.
