  • I changed plugs and wires but.........

    about 2 weeks ago i started getting misfires on cylanders #3 and 6 at low rpms (around 2000), i went in and had the plugs and wires replaced by the dealer. As i was leaving the dealership i floored it, no misfires in the low range, but now im getting misfires left and right in the upper rpms!!!! what else could be causing this? coils maybe?
    I guess I\'d have answer your question with another question.<br /><br />How many Abidiginals do you see in modeling??????<br /><br />headers, 3inch magnaflow cat, Loudmouth<br />99 Midnight Blue Firebird<br />3.8L A4

    Usually if it is misfiring on 2 cylinders it is a coil pack. I said usually that is the cause, not always though. In this case it is. It is the first coil pack you see in the line of 3 that is bad. The 1st one controls cyl 6 and 3. What do ya know? Anyway good luck, i'm having some problems myself with coils.
