My car was doing that for a while though and cleaning the egr valve fixed it. (in reply to ba3kgt) Post #: 2

Basically, follow the 3 wires on the front of the Engine, and they are under that. Now, I can hear you thinking, there are 6 cylinders, so where are the rest? They are on the other side! Under the intake plenum, that silver thing on the top of the engine. Have fun with that one... I f-ing hate doing plugs and wires on the V6. Also, when you remove them, if they are melted, and the white part of the plug has turned black, or brown, they are time to go. Replace them with some good ole NGK plugs, and some Mitsubishi wires. Remember that the wires must go in the same order you removed them. Best way to ensure this, is to remove them one at a time, replace the plug and wire, and then do the next. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to ba3kgt) Post #: 4
