Replaced spark plugs and wires in my 2002 chrysler town and country limited. Spark plugs were tested and are not faulty. Spark plugs are gappe correctly and torqued correctly. Spark plug wires are in correct order. Distributor is OE. Car runs extremely rough and there is oil on the plugs after pulling them out. Car does not leak at all. Motor has 175k miles on it. Last oil change was 1 month ago prior to plug change. Motor ran great before. New pcv valve was installed after car sounded like crap. Did not fic problem. Car idled rough but sounded perfectly fine prior to plug change. Dies when I put it in rev/drive. Loss of power. Does not stall in neutral or park. No OBD2 codes at all.
What makes this problem better or worse?
putting it in drive and reverse makes it choke up and die

If you have oil on the spark plugs, you could have oil getting past the valve stem seals or piston rings, fouling the plugs and preventing them from efficiently firing. But that's a guess. Hands on testing is needed to determine if there is an active misfire or a timing or compression issue. 175,000 miles is a bunch for this motor, so it wouldn't surprise me that an internal problem exists.

It could be timing but do you think it would be ecm related or belt/chain related? Just asking because I have had a problem with my mustang after changing plugs and found out it was out of time and it was the ecm that had gotten smashed which didn’t allow the distributor to give out spark correctly.?
