fouled sparkplug

Is best how to describe it. Pulled away from buddys house and felt a "miss". kept driving home, 2 miles, and was sounding "off" and bucking when backing in driveway. Ran codes and got po1280-Circuit out of range,low.
Sure enough when I replaced it the old one was actually leaking oil. Happy now. Just thought I`d share a bit

I've seen it a few times where a bad ICP sensor or intermittent grounding of the IPR wiring gave the "bad plug/wire" effect. Glad to hear you got'r fixed up. Good job!

Share a bit more details next time. Just messing with you. I assume you replaced the ICP sensor?

I'm found again, thanks. I read it as you replaced the spark plug and I was pretty sure I was wrong.

I might need to replace my batteries in the next year or so, think a prius will suffice?
