Crank but no start 95 accord

Asked by GuruN4K37 Oct 06, 2019 at 09:53 PM about the 1995 Honda Accord EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Every once in a while my car would crank for
20 seconds before starting. Then it turned into
if i didnt hit the gas right away after starting it
would spudder and die. This would only
happen at first startup. Then it would crank
but no start. Now, NO START! Found quarter
inch of oil in spark plug wells. So changed
valve cover gasket and seals around spark
plugs. Still no start, should i change spark
plugs and plug wires? I checked the plugs
wires with a screwdriver and a ground and
theres a light orange/red spark(is that a good
spark?). The spark plugs look fine after
cleaned. I can hear fuel pump turning on and
theres pressure on the fuel lines. I believe its
something to do with the leaking oil thats on
the left side of engine that leaks all up under
the distributor because of leaking valve
gasket. The cap looked a little worn but not
horrible. But lots of oil residue all in that area.

If it was my battery wouldnt the lights not turn on or even it wouldnt turn over or crank?
