O.k. Well the car has only been on the road maybe 2 months or so since my last post, well i changed the valve cover gaskets O-rings and everything to stop the oil from fouling my plugs and coils. well 1200 miles later and i have the same problem except this time i pulled all the the coils and plugs and no oil!!!! the car started to stumble only going up hills at first then when stopped at a light or stop sign then the infamace CEL started blinking? so i pulled the plugs and coils one by one as the car was running and i could see the spark in each cell and hear the clicking except some of the coils did not make the clicking sound as loud as others does that mean they are bad? I saw spark in each cell so i am guessing it could be something else, So i checked the fuel injectors to make sure all the wire harnesses were clicked in and they were (i have never messed around with them) so now i am not sure what to do? do i have to replace the coils and plugs for a third time or what any ideas thanks!!
 
Did you replace the coils the first time around when you did the valve cover gaskets? If you didnt maybe the oil finally got to them and got them weak. same with spark plugs?

If you replaced them 1200 miles ago then i would check the fuel filter. if you didnt replace them yet, replace them. you can find them on ebay for around 200$ for 8 of them. spark plugs would be a good thing to do as well.

IF that doesnt make it stop then id try a fuel filter
 
Fuel filter was just replaced about 2000 Miles ago, so i think that should be o.k. i did replace them the 1200 miles ago maybe i just got a fouled up set i bought them off of Ebay the first time and i also replaced the spark plugs but i will see what i can come up with???
 
damn, weird man. i'm out of ideas. maybe it will get worse and present itself.

whats the CEL say?
 
Misfire #7, I figured today i will replace all the spark plugs and give it a basic tune up and see if i can find anything else out, and go through all of the coils and replace the ones that don't sound as strong as the others (since last time when i replaced all of them i saved the old ones so there must be a few good ones in there) but last time the CEL read the same thing #7 but it was clogged with oil this time its dry? so im gonna do that stuff now before it rains and hopefully have some good news for all of you in a couple hours... I love this car but it seems like every time i try to take a vacation or spend a little money on some upgrades i have to put money into the engine :(... But we will see thanks for the help and ill let you guys know whats up...
