i need to trace trhe problem back from the sparkplug but i dont know which one is the 3rd cylinder on the block, sounds like a stupid question but does anyone know which cylinder is cylinder 3?...thanks
-chris
yea it was P0303 which read out as cylinder 3 misfire. Its probly just the spark plug or distrubutior cap...i hope... cause i really dont want to fix a burnt out valve or anything. thanks for the help

yeah, 10 years old => time for a tune up. plugs, wires, and (maybe) the coil pack -but the pack is more durable than distributors . ..

3# and #6 seemed to be the ones that cause the most problems.

I have a 99 with 140K on it. Every few months I have to replace a plug wire. Don't really know why but when it starts missing I run a code check which tells me which cylinder. I replace the wire and it's smooth again.

doesn't make sense, you may have a bad connection that's arcing & burning the wire.

the v6 has special connectors, you can't use any generic wires. That may be the cause of your problem . ..
