the oil problem has been gradually getting worse... the idle problem just sort of went away w/o me doing anything....tranny seems to be fine as problems surrounding it have disipated
thanks again guys...

should be located around the valve cover. It will have a hose that runs to the carb/ throttle body base.

ok... heres the deal- there is oil reaching the spark plugs in the civic now. origianlly it was lurching while i drove it especially in the lower gears (at tran) but when i rep-laced the plugs everything was great again for about amonth when the lurching slowly started up again. then, the toher day, i was driving and the car died on me at an intersection and now it wont start (turn over but wont start). i changed the plugs and put in a new distributor but it didnt seem to help. there doesnt seem to be electricity reaching the plugs. my friend tells me i need a new coil? is this an ignition coil? is $99 a good price for this piece? what do you think...

Have you changed the wires along with the plugs? Maybe a new air filter and fuel filter may help.
