I was having the same problem. My friend and I just replaced the Cap and Rotor and resealed the valve cover gasket.<BR>Why reseal you ask? Well, I have a (what I believe is stock 1.6L) DOHC. However, when I got the gasket, it looked like it was for a SOHC. Got it from Advanced Auto. Went to AutoZone, same problem. Anyone have any ideas?! They said it was the right one. Then they showed me a Mitsubishi gasket and it looked more like it. So, I am thinking I have a 2.0l 4cyl DOHC?<BR>Any ideas?!<BR>

i'm guessing you DO have a 4-banger. now, if it is 92-93 is a SOHC, if it's newer than 93 it's a DOHC
