Chevy Lumina 3.1L v6 Euro 180000
Grandpa replaced freeze plugs 1 year ago
Grandpa gave car to me
Car sat for about 1 year (run occasionally)
Car will crank but wont start without starter fluid in the air intake
When car starts (finally) it runs real rough, engine shakes and there is some knocking and backfires
The other day the throttle body backfires blowing the air filter housing in two and starting the air filter to flaming
engine will just about start on starter fluid in air intake and when gas is pressed that kills the deal fast
circuit tester shines bright on all connections accept the plug to the IAC which show real dim
Spark plugs look brand new in place(i did not take them out to look) wires look good also but have not tested for spark.
Any ideas? Thanks!
