    oil inside spark plug hole

    Sorry for the delay in replying and thanks for the advice frank. Can anyone help with a list of what I need for this?

    oil inside spark plug hole

    Won't start after being on hill

    Hi, Got a 99 1.0l auto. Left it parked on a hill with nose higher than tale. There wasn't much fuel in tank. First time turned key, it started and died after 2 seconds. I let it roll down to flat surfAce. Tried again after a day and did same thing, started and died, then wouldn't start again...
