I was driving my S.H.O. down the road the other day, and got behind a slow
car. So as I turned onto a different road, he turned also. There was a
short passing lane that ended about 1000 feet from where you turn on. So i
decided to pass. I pull out beside him and gas it. I turned about 5k
RPM(my brother was fallowing me so i had to get him around the slow guy
too.) About 3 miles later i was doing 55 and turning rather low (2200) RPMs
and the whole car started to shake. I drove on for about 10 more miles to
see if it would go away, but it did not. So I pulled into a gas station,
and raised the hood. I got to looking around (im not that good of a
mechanic) and pulled out the plug wire for the hell of it. I noticed oil on
the fitting that goes around the plug and there was even more oil
surrounding the plug. So I pulled out the remaining two plug wires on the
front of my 1993. They had the same problem. I wiped the oil off the
fittings and tried to get as much out away from the plug as possible. I
checked the oil level to be safe and it was on full. I closed the hood and
took off, and the car DID NOT shake again, and has not for about 2 weeks.
Does anybody know what is wrong, how to fix it, if it is an easy fix, and
how much it would cost me?
