Brett:
 Have you looked at the FAQ? It has a HUGE amount of SHO info. You plug
wells have oil because the valve cover seals are leaking. This needs to be
fixed or misfires will occur. It sounds like that's what was happening to
you. Have you done a proper 60K/100K miles service? The oil ruins the plug
wires and I am sure you plugs could use a change too. Here is the FAQ that
might help out:

 About 3 miles later i was doing 55 and turning rather low (2200) RPMs

> 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

> 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

> checked the oil level to be safe and it was on full.  I closed the hood
and
