Title: Car Miss Firing
Post by: downsmen on 09 August 2010, 06:30:04

Morning
Just got to work this morning the car was running really rough it felt and sounded like it was missing on at least 1 cylinder if not more, i have checked for codes and only have 73 i dont think this is anything to worry about.
I have a theory that the cam gasket has gone on the right bank if looking at the engine flooding the spark plugs causing a missfire, would this be correct and if so how do i get to the plugs as they are hidden under all the wiring.
I changed the left bank cam gasket about 3 months ago, and looks okay.

Start with the simple fix first....remove each plug and see if it is drowning in oil/water..if oil problem is cam seal so replace with genuine GM parts as per guide.
If plug wells are dry start by replacing plugs and as you go check with a flasher plug for a strong spark.Last thing would be leads and dispack,but if cam seals are leaking you may need new leads as they will have been slowly deep fryed.
