the oil that leaked out may have contaminated the wires, cap. you need to have the motor cleaned off of all oil residue.
check the oil with the dipstick for proper level.

okay well i drained all that oil out, and it seems to run just fine. except when it gets hot out, it wont barely drive at all. sputters when I give it gas.. checked all the fluids, everything is good.. ?
