Yellow engine light and engine missing
I got a yellow engine light so I took it to check the code. Code came back with 3 & 4 cylinder miss firing. I pulled those two plugs this morning. #3 looked like it had been dipped in oil. Oil was literally running off of it. #4 did not look bad but was not drinched in oil. I am going to clean the plug since no one carries plugs for it and move the 3&4 coil packs to 1&2 to see if the missing will follow the coils and try to get the oil out of cylinder 3. Can I reset the yellow check engine light and if so how? The car is just shy of 100,000 miles and is a base 2009. Here are a couple of pictures of the plugs.

I decided to swap 3&4 coils with 1&2 to see if the problem would follow the coils. I did get another code for #2 cylinder misfire but not #1. I did pull the plugs to see if #3 was still wet. All plugs were dry this time. I wonder if the fluid in cylinder 3 was just carbon and gas? But when I pulled #4 it was dry and those were the two throwing the original codes. Since I haven't figured out how to reset the check engine light I don't know if 3&4 are still misfiring.
These plugs have 33000 miles on them.
There looks like a little carbon build up on plug one.

It was scanned at Advance Auto so I don't know if they can/will. I was trying to isolate the problem to plugs or coils. I will replace both but just wanted to know which was the problem.

since the oil is covering the threads of the plug, the oil must be coming from the top hence the valve cover gasket.
a scanner is always a-must-have item. some times you cannot afford driving the car all the way to a shop for a scan to tell you something is wrong. you do not want to drive the car with a check engine light specially when the engine feels weak.
