2002 Mitsubishi Galant Repair Question
I have a 2.4l 4cyl with 107000 miles and it won't start after being driven (engine hot)...what could this be?

maybe it's flooding? have you tried holding gas pedal to floor? check plugs to see if they get wet.
I should have added more info in my original question, sorry about that. When the problem first started happening a couple months ago, there was also a strong oil scent inside the car. The valve cover gasket was bad-allowing a tiny bit of oil to seep out around the valve cover AND 2 of my 4 spark plugs were completely fouled with oil. I replaced the valve cover gasket (it no longer leaks) and cleaned the plugs with brake cleaner since they were only a month old. Is this okay? Should i have replaced the plugs anyway?
you mean the tips were fouled or the body of pug was oily?
Well, the body of the plugs was DEFINATELY covered in oil...but, there was some on the tip...however, i think that is the result of the oil dripping down from the body of the plug when i took them out of the engine, because i took them out again to check and there was no oil on the tips.
have you checked fuel delivery and spark quality?
No, i have not. I will level with you, haha, i have NO idea how to do either one of those! How do u check fuel delivery and spark quality???
