I'd almost bet its the injector or the wires have a short.
Also check the plug wire and make sure the ends are not broke inside the boot. Could also pull that plug and see how it looks.
I thought you had Iridiums recently, most I've seen are lasting between 65-80K miles. If you hav been running rich, it could have fauled it out and burnt up.

wires are good, still new looking... none of the pieces inside are loose, I unplugged #3 in the back and connected it back onto the spark plug and started it, still havin problems. I do doubt the iridiums have gone out already, I love those things lol I should still check em I guess just to make sure

The scanner the guy had was pretty sweet, told me each individual cycl misfire that'd happen and even history... like 4 had a 2 misfire history but it only happened once. Number 3 tho is freaking out lol, you can hear it in the way the exhaust sounds

I think once I do get the GA workin again I'm goin to do an oil change, w/ some purple I spotted a week or 2 ago at wal*mart ... just need a pan to drain it in and a jack lol Dont know if I should switch now tho.. I've been using mobil1 full syn. with K&N gold performance filters for a while... sure its kept clean

Hey XI, this guy was tellin me about my 180stat that I had put in, was saying that the PCM still thinks that the stock temp stat might be installed and could throw some stuff out of wack?

btw, good luck on the trip! with the mileage and all lol

Um Ok....


Anyways....

The gauge i have to get is the CAN system since that's what the G6 has in it... It's just of matter of either the dashhawk or the aeroforce.... but I think I'm gonna get the Dashhawk since I like the diplay/look and it seems to have more features listed. I just have to be careful when i get it.... it looks like a GPS unit ( in the pictures) and there are alot of cars being broken into for the GPS units around here... Then would come the next fun part and intergrating it into the dash someplace.... HMMMM.....

Xi: Lucky you... vacation! I want a vacation!!!!

Well that's it for me.... I'm gonna look busy at work for a little whiel today... and I'm gonna TRY to leave early... ( keyword of the day being "TRY")

NOW you all know why I kept asking so many questions I was trying to formulate a list

[Vipey1337]

yeah that would all be like 4 grand so obviously i can't do them all, probably not even half... we'll see

[Gir-_-]

Headlights!!! .. those are sick!!!! w/ angel eye fog lights!!!

I think you're better off grabbing a pair of GT style tail lights... those look good for stock IMO.. no black SE lines going across... switch the bulbs out w/ LEDs and you're set

im buying them when I have some money to throw away

check your post about strut bars..

thx dude Those headlights... do you think the black or the chrome would look better? I'll try to decide what I'm doing about the tail lights... but I thought black headlights with black rims with black tail lights would look pretty sick

[grfnkl]

I would do the black headlights.... I do like them alot though! Jeez! Why do they have to come out with these things after i get rid of the car?! DAMN! I would agree with Gir though go with the stock GT tailights. Much better looking then the aftermarkets! Plus i've seen people modify the GT tails. For instance I've seen people take out the red lenses... ( which is only ok) However I saw someone who took out the turn signal red lenses and replaced it with a frosted clear lense... and put red bulbs in. It looked sweet. The rest of the links... well I haven't looked at the rest yet.. I'll comment on them later...

[Gir-_-]

is it? .. a red older grand am?

[Vipey1337]

CRAP I just totally erased what I typed here... anyway I bought tail lights, smoked TYC for $145 from someone that didn't like how they matched on his car. They are a little dark but for $145 I figured I'd give them a shot... if I don't like them I'll just turn around and sell them again. Worth a try, and I'll still have that $80 left over from AAS to spend on something else

So without further adieu, pics:

My car will look like a bug and if I ever get it painted black, it will go really nice

[Gir-_-]

those arent bad

[Vipey1337]

WOOT finally got the SERV number off my PCM... my god it was a bish to get to... friggin 4awg wire in the way of my PCM wires so I can't move anything! I have no idea how I'm going to get it out without removing my pick panels and my $500 speakers

Grrrr.... well at least I can order my damn part now

Where's my VIN number?

normally on the drivers door, or on the dash in the front seen thru the window on the driver's side

whats a SERV number??

Edit: Hmm.. they never needed that thing from me... I remember seeing it up there too *shrug oh well lol

vipey, send me PMs if you have any installation questions!

after you get it going again after doing the security relearn, you're gonna have to take it somewhere (dealer prob) to get that CASE learn done (w/ a GMTechII)... it makes a world of difference before and after.

They charged me $40 =/ just for the CASE learn, a$$holes
