My car has an intermittent misfire. When it happens the car will hardly move. It happened today and I opened the hood to take a look. I was tapping around by the coil packs and the misfire stopped. I really think it has a bad coil pack but I do not know which one. This is a 93 Firebird 3.4L which had OBDI. The check engine light does not work. Is there a way to figure out which coil pack it is?
If I get an OBDI scanner does that just flash the check engine light or does that actually give me the codes?
pull the plug wires off 1 coil pack at a time (make sure you shut it off first or you will shoch the crap out of you self). thats how i found it on mine.
How hard are they to change? Do they just come off by removing the 2 screws that I see on each side of them. It looks like the one on the bottom could be a bit of a pain to get the screws out.
deff sounds like a coil,people are always complaining about them i have a 95 3.4 ive put over 60k on it with out any coil trouble and my friend has put more than that on his with no problems from the coils

My car has 132,000 miles on it and they appear to be the originals. It has not acted up since yesterday morning so I am going to keep an eye on it and when it happens again I will try to figure out which one it is.

Easy, take off the 2 plug wires (they can be a pain) and keep note of which post they go to. Unscrew 2 screws, pull the coil off, set new coil on and snug the screws up. Replace the spark plug wires and you are good to go :tup:
As previously mentioned, my check engine light does not work. I do not know why. Will either of these OBD 1 scanners pull the codes for my car, or do these scanners just flash the check engine light. I need a way to pull the codes without having to rely on the C/E light.
Strange. My grandma's grand am is always in the shop for a missfire, usually coils and she has a 3800. I remember in a thread a while back a lot of other's have coils go bad frequently.
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
Hello, so I changed the front bearings on the bird and the ABS inoperative light came on. I made a mistake of not removing negative battery cable. Now...
I usually have to double, triple my headlight switch for them to come up on my 97 Firebird. I cleaned all connections. Could it be the headlight switch...
