hey Morley, you know what, after sitting in a dark corner for hours pondering the problem and by eliminating the obvious........... enough with the chinanigans right.......:runaround: it turns out that I checked the wires to see if they had spark.... and cyl. #5 is misfirings.....EUREKA I'VE FOUND IT!!! i think.........what do you think Morley...... oh the car is a 2000 firebird 3.8 5 speed, changed the plugs and wires, IAT sensor, and MAP sensor already.
i am low on funds so, can I get away with changing one coil pack(2,5)??? and eventually the other two???
