Default spark 3.8

no rotor on this one. i was told either control module or computer. do you know how to check either of these two components? I hate to buy the computer and it is something else. Thanks for the tip ed.

the coilpack has a tendency to die on our v6s so i dont find it very hard to believe its just the coil pack.. u could try swapping out coil packs with someone else who owns a v6 and that would tell u if its bad or not

What do the plugs with those 2 wires look like? That would be 2,3,5,6 on the motor......

The ignition wires go directly back to the PCM. Check your crank sensor as well.....
