ok.. i have a Dodge Ram 1500 v8 4x4 sport with 107,000. it was running rough, and when i hit around 55-60 mph it would shake very bad and the engine light was on. I gave it a tune up and noticed one of the spark plugs was covered in oil. After the tune up, the check engine light went off and drove like new. a week later my engine light comes on again and the same problems happens. Is it cause that one spark plug that oil is leaking into? please help me!
