Replacing the valve cover gasket this weekend on my wifes 95 525 with 66K on the odo. What else should I replace while I'm in there?

It misses on startup until you start to accelerate. I'm thinking a leaking valve cover gasket may be the culprit. I've already replace the plugs of course. If that doesn't fix it then it's on to the O2 sensor (although I think it would run poor all the time if that were it).

Thanks

When you swapped plugs, was there oil in holes? MicahO 07:47 8/29/2001 (2)
- Yes, a little oil in #6, but small amount (more) Chris Rose 07:52 8/29/2001 (1)
