Valve cover gasket HELP!!!!!
« on: July 31, 2007, 10:56:14 AM »
I replaced the valve cover gasket and as far as i can tell everything is back on right, but the car idles badly and the engine shakes...i have checked and rechecked the spark plug wire and even changed them...could i have bumped something out of place?

did you mess with the valves at all?

are the wires on the right plugs, could you have misplaced the wires and their sparking at the wrong time?

Did you miss re-installing a vacume line? Maybe one to the EGR or something else? Check all vacume lines and see...
