So I added two additional grounds after reading some threads here on hard starting and it helped a lot, but not 100%. However I also know that my rear valve cover gasket is leaking...two of my plugs are covered in oil all the time. Do you guys feel like this would agitate hard starting?

 

A leaking valve cover gasket isnt going to get oil on your plugs. Do you mean you have oil on the tip that fires and is in the cylinder? Or back up near the washer?

Cant help you with the hard starting, never been an issue with me.

 

I meant the gasket area that goes around the plugs. I mean the plugs are drenched in oil- yea the ceramic and tip...as if I dipped my plug into a bowl of oil and pulled it out

 

I figured you were talking about the spark plug seal, just wanted to make sure.

 

I guess you read one of my thread!

Im one of this borad who have this fu(king problem. I wrote that now everything's fine, but the problem came back.

1. I put grounds
2. Tried sensors
3. make a good and complete maintenance on the car.

And still have the hard starting, Im out!
