I changed the spark plugs and changed the oil, the engine sounds fine when its in Park or Neutral and i Rev the engine. The engine makes a Popping noise and doesnt accelerate correctly if its at 1.5 RPMs and i accelerate NORMALLY when in DRIVE and the car actually moves, cause i put parking brake on and accelerate while in drive and no popping noise. I need to LIGHTLY accelerate or take my foot off and floor it so that it accelerates and doesnt make that POP noise. Every time i try to accelerate NORMALLY it makes that noise and loses horsepower, so i take foot off and floor it. Also, i noticed OIL in 1 of the spark plugs when i changed them.

Hi speedyabe18,

There seem to be a misfiring from the engine and it could be due to the oil in the plug cylinder or plug related, eg wires or coils.

Is the CEL showing?
