What else did you touch whilst you gave it the oil change! also out of interest, make model and year, and how much oil did you put in!

Its a 2004 Nissan Pulsar and was done by the guy who does all our vehicles.He also did wheel allignment but should not have touched anything else.Would assume that he put the right amount of oil into it.

The oil goes into the top of the engine, not the carburretor.

Well if it was at a garage or similiar, he may have removed leads to check plugs. might be worth checking the leads are correctly fitted if you know how, otherwise take it back in to be checked

Four coil packs on top of plugs, no HT leads or carburetor it 2004 its also probably 1.5 liter not 1.4. Take it back, 'since you.'

Lol yep I'm wrong about the leads - never mentioned carbie though that was another poster. Are the coil packs bolted down over plugs! or just an interference fit!

Hmm recommend you take it back in, hopefully just something left loose

Take it back to the mechanic, and tell him to do the job right

I gather you've actually checked the oil level since having the oil change done!

Why is there one in every thread! Take it back to the mechanic and ask his opinion. It may be something totally unrelated and the attitude of the poster above won't do you any favours at all.

my ex rang a few weeks back re car running rough, it had been running rough for a while and it had just been in for a service and tuneup and they had done oils filters and plugs etc
I went down, found they had done all as per the account - but they had not reported that one of the seals around the plug holes was leaking, the plug cavity on one was half full of oil I asked at the servo where it was done and they admit that yes the tube was full at the shop but the apprentice had only told them about it after the car had left

Appleman--I'm guessing its already fixed but 2 things come to mind. Check the oil level is correct and check that all the plugs on the back of the coil packs are clicked home and also don't seem to be crossed over

ah unbeknown to us some bright spark cleaned engine with water and more water!

It did sound like water down the plughole but I couldn't imagine how water would be used in an oilchange. AHH-yea ok they spilled oil everywhere so washed up with degreaser and water-forgot to pull the plugs and blow out with air.
