Hi guys, I have a 92 Accord LX (VIN starts with a 1 though, so it's American-made :( )... I have a couple of problems I was hoping maybe someone here might know fixes for:
1. I changed my spark plugs this past weekend for maintenance, but also because my car was having trouble starting every once in a while. When changing my spark plugs, I found it a bit difficult, because a couple of my cylinders had a lot of oil in them. What's weird is -- I check my oil often and I never see it burning even a drop of oil, ever. How did that oil get in my cylinders? There's a lot, and from what I understand about how cars work, it's probably stopping some of my spark plugs from sparking at all.
2. My transmission feels like it shifts pretty hard. Someone told me it's probably my transmission mount. I wiggled the transmission mount (which I believe is the roundish thing right in front of my transmission), and I could wiggle it a little bit with my hands, which I believe is not supposed to be possible.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
