need more information. Did you do a compression test? Was the car running poorly, maybe like it had a miss? Does it burn oil? Does the car get very poor gas mileage? Is the car modified extensively? Is the car running a turbonetics kit and you did a top speed run for 10-20 miles on regular fuel? Do you drive around on the rev limiter because its mad jdm cool?

you're just guessing if you haven't done a compression test, for all we know your coilpack is ****ed up.

wet plug is no spark,unless it's wet with oil

Does it have oil on it?

If that's the case... it's probably just your tube seal leaking.

if you werent firing in a cylinder you would get a misfire code almost guaranteed

I had a problem with misfires after changing my plugs for the first time a while back... my problem was that I put the coilback on the wrong plugs..... i mixed up the placement because I didnt mark them before removing the whole coil pack.....

1) Check for a bad coil pack
2) Check for oil on the plugs
3) Check for any pending code(s). You can have a code and still not throw a CEL.

if he was running on 4 cylinders he would know and the thread wouldnt be about a wet plug

Thats not a uncommon problem and your engine will be fine but i think the valve cover has to be replaced.I am not sure but reading on here is they dont sell the tube seals seperately.

+1 i bought used set of valve cover from one of member here. It's common issue, there is no point to get a brand new valve cover.
