Have you even thought about checking for plugs or wires? If you replaced them recently there's almost no way that can be the problem unless you have serious electrical problems.~Derrick <a href=\"http://www.appstate.edu/~do54457/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>My Webpage</i></a><br /><b>\'96 3.8L V6 M5 Firebird Y87</b> | <b>162.8 RWHP</b> / <b>196.7 RWTQ</b> <br /><b>•</b> SLP CAI <b>•</b> <a href=\"http://tech.firebirdv6.com/y87.html\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Y87</b> Package</a> - 3.23s <b>•</b> 180º thermo w/ fan switch <b>•</b> TB spacer from DEE<br />1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 -

well if you are buying the "bargain" brand from advance then I'd be willing to bet you are getting crap, buy ac delco coils if you aren't gonna go with msd or accel.. btw I know when I bought mine they were like $2 cheaper at the dealership than the list price at NAPA, I believe that you can get the ac delco's through autozone a little cheaper, but they are gonna have to order them more than likely..-Brad

i too am selling mine. i might even have an extra one that a dealership hook up gave me. you can have all 4 for the price of 3 if can find the extra one.

OEM replacemets at Advanced Auto are GP Soren(something like that) like 99 Bird 'o Fire said, and they're like $18 like xjarayax said. They've worked great for me.
I personally don't like AC Delco parts. What is the the first thing to go on GMs... electrical parts.

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
