My Honda Accord 1999 is chugging when it’s idle. Just put in new spark plugs and wires, could it be a valve?

Probably not. Is it missing? If so unplug injectors one at a time if one of them makes no difference suspect the injector, if they're all about the same the fuel pressure regulator may be flooding the engine.

SOURCE: 1996 Honda Accord Rough Idle Even After tune up

Perform a valve clearance inspection and adjust if necessary. Tight or sticking valves will cause a misfire or rough running concern. Note: Perform valve adjustment when the engine is stone cold. 4cyl: INT 0.26mm EXH: 0.30mm (V6 engine are hydraulic and no adjust necessary.) Also check for a sticking or stuck open EGR valve. For diagnostic purposes only: Remove the EGR valve. Place a business card over the EGR passage and bolt the EGR valve back on. This plugs the EGR ports and if the misfire goes away the EGR valve is partially stuck open and is defective.
Check for low fuel pressure. Check for low compression. Check cam timing. Check for a weak ignition coil. Also don't over look the possibility of worn or broken engine mounts which cause excessive engine movement and engine vibration. -hope this helps

SOURCE: Honda Accord 1994 Rough Idle, often miss cylinder

A check on the spark plugs of the 2nd and 3rd cylinder must tell the story. If you see there is a dirty plug, oil soaked or badly burnt we need to check on the firing and fuel delivery.
First of all check for compression if there is oil smearing, it can be due to weak oil rings or compression rings or a faulty bore in case the engine has clocked a great deal.
Also check the valve settings before the firing - spark intensity of the 2nd and 3rd plugs are confiremed. Check the HT wires to the plugs as you have checked the remaining sections. I hope this must give an indication of the lurking fault.

I need to replace the vtec gasket on a 1997 honda accord ex. I purchased it but i need to know where does it go?

If your talking about the valve cover gasket you need to remove the valve covers to install it. That usually involves removing the spark plug wires as they go in the top of the valve cover and then removing about 8 nuts, it lifts off and you put the new gasket in and replace everything, don't over tighten the nuts.

I have a 92 Honda Accord, what causes oil around the spark plug. and how do I fix it. Would it also mke the vehicle run bad?

1. Worn or broken rings on that cylinder

4. Yes it will make your car run bad

My 2002 honda accord check engine light has been on for the past month. i took m y car to get the engine codes read and it said cyl 2 and 4 misfired. the car drives good but starts losing power when i go...

Did anyone check the spark plugs and wires? Make sure the Spark plugs are the correct NGK Spark plugs, nothing else. Fuel pressure is another thing that need to be verified under a load, lke the mountain you are having trouble with.

1999 Mystique keeps missing (chugging) at higher

You should be illuminating the check engine light. If so, rent a scanner, read the codes and pursue to repairs. You should replace the fuel filter and check the air cleaner. The fuel pump may be on it's last legs--check fuel pressure at the fuel rail over the injectors (a tire-valve looking test port). The pressure should be ~45 to 55 PSI with the engine running.
