diagnosis: dead coil pack

Thats weird, coils dont NORMALLY fail. Could it be possible you damaged it a little while you took your plugs out?

[AKPsiMC03]

well the #2 and the #5 are not firing. they are both on the 4th coil. My guess is is that the coil went bad. I check both plugs. both were soaked in gas. so there is no spark... the car will run... but it sounds like on 6 cylinders.

but i also still need 02 sensors. are both on the 95 northstar motor the same part number? I want to order them from GM parts direct.

That's not weird at all Wes, Coils are subject to failure just like any other component. Nothing NORMALLY fails. I see coils fail all the time, It's not the most common failure in the world but it's not uncommon at all....

I would check the plug wires for those two cylinders before replacing the coils though, as a precaution!

[AKPsiMC03]

i replaced the coils and check all the wires and it still doesnt FU****G run! what the hell is is with me and cars that break all the time? all i want is a car that runs right for once... im screwed without a car that runs. god damnit.

i need help on this asap... any help... PLEASE im desperate here.

its code P036

You could always put a match over the spark plug wire

What do you mean by "you checked the wires", did you just make sure they were hooked up right. Maybe its time for some new wires??

[AKPsiMC03]

well when wires go bad it is very gradual... this was about as un expected as a kick in the balls from a best friend. it happed all of a sudden.

i think its the 02 sensor causing it all... i have a new one and it is going in tonight. I hope its warm out though cus im doing it outside

[AKPsiMC03]

okay... coil packs are new. front 02 sensor is new. rear, didnt have another in stock. all cylinders are getting spark. battery was unpluged for an hour while we worked on it.... it had trouble starting.... now it starts and idles like crap:

codes i get now: P036, P052, P106. I dont know what 052 and 106 are.

i really need help with this. please

[AKPsiMC03]

all fixed... no one ever told me it takes an hour and a half of te battery being unplugged to reset the computer haha...

she purrs like a kitten now.... well a kitten on drugs anyway
