ok i just got my intake gasket fixed. now its hard to me to give gas. last time this happen it was my # 5 sparkplug misfiring. but i just got them done. could it be that they didn't put it on good? in is it ok to reuse it if i just got it put on.. and my next question is. me power steering keep making this loud noise when i turn my wheel. then when i take the top off it has a million tiny bubbles in it.. does it mean i need a new one or how do i get the bubbles out.?
 
The number five cylinder is misfiring because of a spark plug wire distributor cap and rotor problem. The rotor spins inside the distributor cap, and if it is worn out the spark is off. The spark plug wire could be bad not allowing the spark. From the Chicago Tribune Rides section in the Sunday paper it said how to test the spark plug wire. Open the hood when the car is idling, spray water on the wires, it the car hestitates or acts up they need replacing.

As for the age of the car it may be a good idea to replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor any ways.

As for the power steering it sounds like you have a leak allowin air in it to bubble up. Since it is hydraulic in nature you should be able to get it pressure tested to find the leak to fix it. Until the leak is stopped you will have problems.
