doubt it.
box? what are you talking about? You need the AFM, not an air box...
Valve cover gasket.

yup, i don't think the AFM is fixed. It's firing on all4 now after i cleaned up the spark plug and wire but it is still rough, and i think i hear a knock too since it isn't running right.
So. . . i get to go find an AFM i guess and see if it works. Looks like the Protege gets a tag Monday

Like muff said, you're valve cover gasket is leaking. That's why the plug holes are full of oil.
Replace the plugs and wires. Since they've been sitting in oil for a while, they're likely making a poor connection to each other therefore causing a misfire.
From the way you describe things, it does sound like the connections to the AFM are also wrecked. Swap it out to avoid any quesses.

Success!! Resoldered the pins back onto the PC board on the AFM and i'm back to "Normal" idle, aka 1200 rpm
and no misfire after cleaning out the spark plug, but did smoke out all the oil that drained into the engine when i removed teh spark plug
SO, valve cover is going to get picked up tonight and replaced

Yessir. I was the one who actually started the idea of Enkei making the batch of the 14's over on CR.net
lol...seriously?
I have NO A/C. I just drop the top on the hot days.
On cold days, I have the heater core still...I usually run the defroster and foot vent. I usually have the car in the garage, so I open up the garage door and let her warm up.
I went for stealth, and plenty of people install the gauges there.
