If this is an overhead cam engine, where the spark plugs are inserted through a tube in the valve cover, the answer is simple. There is most likely a small oil leak around the seals in the valve cover at that cylinder. Compound that with a spark plug boot that may have a slight bit of wear or expansion due to the oil and you will get a small combustion at the upper end of the spark plug, especially on hard acceleration where the ignition coil is forced to put out more voltage. Repair the oil leak, replace the wires and you should be good.

well on how to route the spark plug wires, you just need to keep them away from the exhaust, and make sure to keep them away from any moving parts in the area. Zip ties work wonders on these, and just ensure that they are in their correct location for the corresponding cylinder.


Should your sidekick start with 90 pounds of compression in each cylinder?

thats a little on the worn engine side of compression,but that in itself would not keep it from starting....most likely a fuel or spark problem. you can check fuel pressure with a screw in guage from autozone,and check spark with an inline spark tester from autozone.
