ok so this is what happened i parked my car one night n the next morning it wont start. It wasnt getting any spark so i assumed it was the ignitor. Checked it out n it wasnt the ignitor. Noticed that where the spark plugs are there was alot of oil. So i removed all the spark plugs cleaned it up changed the valve seal and put everything back together. Now when i start the car the engine is very shaky and keeps turning off. The car idles very ruff and drives very ruff so i dont know what it could be. Any help would be appreciated.

Get new spark plugs and valve cover gaskets
You might want to get new plug wires if they are pretty old, and if you didn't get the wires clean they can be causing your problem.

ok i changed the spark plugs and it runs better now but still its a little shaky. It sounds like its missing still. i just found out the spark plugs i put in were the wrong ones. their for non-turbo but still it shouldnt be missing tho...right? when i rev the rpm up to 5 or more when it drops back down to 0 the car shuts off. whats going on? btw when i first got it to start it was making a loud baning noise so i turned it off n put oil in n it stopped. Maybe i messed up the engine?
