Two years ago, our check engine light went off and the van started shaking when I drove. We changed coils and spark plugs and then we were good. About one year later it happened again, and we changed them. The pm it has been happening very 3-4 months. It is now specifically cylinder 3 and a brand-new spark plug is fouled with oil. There is not an oil leak and there is not low oil. Trying to see if this can be fixed or if there is a bigger issue. Also, when the outside temperature is close to 80, the van has a difficult time starting when I turn the key. Sometimes black smoke comes from the exhaust and when I start the van, it smells like a strong gas smell. Thank you!
