rough idle...???

[izzydjinn]

Sup guys, well long story short my car is running rough , why, I dont know. Changed the plugs and wires.... nothing. Cleaned the intake... nothing, there is spark, there is compression, so I dont know what else it could be , well I have a few ideas of what it could be but I want to make sure. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. ...THANK YOU ALL...

Year? Make? Model? How long has it been going on? What did you do before it started? What all have you done since? Gotten better? Gotten worse?

[izzydjinn]

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....... 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???

Yes you change out the one coil, switch it with another so you know for sure that is it.
