I have heard the oil pump never goes bad in my car, is this true?
Well I changed mine out and now the car misses. Any ideas why? Thanks

Hello,

It sounds like the spark plugs got oil soaked while the job was being done. I would try changing the plugs to see if that fixes it.

Here is a guide to hep you get the job done.

Please let us know what happens.
