Q: Misfire cylinder 1 2001 Honda

asked by on January 12, 2017

Misfire on cylinder one. Change spark plugs, spark plug wires, and fuel injector. Check distribution cap for wear and oil and it Seems to look great. Oil leaking or burning about 2 quarts after two months of change. When it's idling it shakes but once you accelerate it stops shaking and drives pretty smooth. Check engine light flashing. Any ideas?? Thanks
