[glow=red,2,300]I tried changing all 6 spark plugs today and also i changed the pcv valve.. but the check enginge light is still blinkin and the car is still misfireing, i was wondering if anyone else had similar problems? Could it be my coil packs? Looks like i will have to put her in the shop nexxt week..[/glow]  |

 you didnt state what kind of Aurora you have, however, blinking engine light with misfire on my 1997 was definitely the coil pack, but, have you done the wires because a bad wire can also cause severe misfire and make the light blink

the coils are directly on top of the spark plugs on the 3.5 and 4.0 V8 (2001+ models.) The 3.5 always had coil-on-plug technology. There's a very short sleve that goes from the plug to the coil, but that isn't even an inch long.. I wouldnt' call that a wire. lol. For the record, I'd guess coil packs as well for the problem, but unfortunately, misfires are sometimes hard to diagnose, especially when you're not with the car.  |
