I traded my G20 for this thing last year… Ran great all last year I had it…
Took it out after my Z died… Ran great for awhile now its having a Ign/Fuel issue not sure
Im 100% its something tiny/small as it doesnt always present…
I seriously just dont want to deal with it because I dont like the car one bit, its to big, its automatic and its a GM. A full tuneup would probably get this thing going 100% again
The car has high miles 190k but it looks good, the body is pretty straight except for 2 tiny surface rust spots… Tires/brakes are all good… before the car started with this bullshit it ran awsome… trans doesnt slip etc…
IIRC frmo the previous owner it was mostly a highway car
$2000 OBO… Or trade something 5 speed that isnt a rusted POS
Doubt anyone on here will want this thing but figured id throw it out ehre… Honestly its a great car, but i have no time or even the will to try and deal with this thing, im sure a tuneup and some seafoam will fix the issue
give it a full tune ,the 3.8 is a bulletproof motor the rest of the car is solid and they are great in the snow if i didnt need a truck id jump on this as id have it fixed in a afternoon
no ,at worst it would be a coil pack ,but when the older 3.8,s puked a intake it would blow coolant or egr would melt not very often it would do miss codes
Jon I tried switching out coils… Dave at inline was nice enought o give me coils he pulled off a good running GP and it dident fix the issue… The wires looks brand new and the plug on cyl 6 looks fine…
I have no idea… I just want this POS gone.
and I put 2k as well I figured for the condition its a good price and most jackasses lowbal anyways
When it wants to it runs great… ran great last year and when i first took it out
Ive seen a few use so little coolant it wasnt really noticable. My friend’s wife had a '98 Grand Prix that did it and his mom had a '99 Lesabre with the same issue.
yeah dave at inline said its prolly the ign module said its happend a lot to him…
Jon, I tried reving it and it wouldent go past 3200 rpms… then if i held it there for a few seconds then got right off it would die… doesnt die under normal driving or anything… just when i rev it and hold it around 3200 as it wont go any higher then let off
Hey jon, srsly i dotn wanna dick with this thing… If I shot up there later in the day like I usualy do for my inspections would you mind taking a look at it for me? I havent driven the thing in like 2 fuckin weeks because i get to like 70-75mph and it hits a brick wall… looses power… then starts to come back as long as I dont try and go above 75 or so…
we are slammed at the shop now ,dude for what a tune up costs just do one ,plugs are 4-7 bucks each "use delco platinums " get good wires ,fuel and air fitler and drive the car
remove the front top engine mount thats near the hoodlatch or w/e, the “dogbone” looking thing
take a really fucking hug bar, and / or some ratchet straps… rock that fuckin engine forward dude… and u’ll have exactly 0.000004 extra MM of space to fit your socket and ratchet into so u can remove the plugs and wires
