When driving at speeds lower than thirty five mph engine vibrates. Computer indicated problem with valve number six.
Spark plugs and coil replaced. Problem continues. Plus, now I am getting hot air coming in at floor level. Maybe a hose got lose.

Hello,

It sounds like you have low compression in cylinder number six. I would remove the plug and then flow this guide to get the job done. If you do not have a gauge you can rent one.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
