  • Spark plug problem

    i went to autozone to check my engine light and had a misfire on 6 i was wondering if it would stil be ok to drive until the weekend becuse i dont have the money to buy new plugs or the time to change them
    if i was a pirate noone would have a car

    Are you sure it's not the #6 spark plug wire? The 3.8's have a bad history with that particular wire. It runs from the coil on the driver's side of the engine to the passenger side, crossing the top of the intake manifold. The Manifold heats up after a few minutes of driving, and soon it starts to cook through the wires passing over it.

    And "No", I wouldn't drive the car too far with a misfire.

        Best way to check is to replace them. Just be careful when re-routing the new wires.
