For full features; Go to newbe needs help 93 olds ciera missing
Hi people. Just a newbe here. I have a 1993 olds cutlas ciera. 3300 v6.
new plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, o2 sensor, tranny filter &
fluid, ( i tried to do all the simple stuff first) also oil and filter.
this thing has a terriable miss in it. I pulled the wires off one at a
time and could not tell any difference in the missing. at idle you can
tell it has a miss, when you :driving: take off (or should i say if it
takes off) the car is very sluggish and spits and sputters like all get
out. when you finally get up to a higher rpm it will smooth out (some) but
you can tell it still has a miss. Any one have a suggestion on what could
be wrong with this thing :confused:. I have :banghead: racked my brain on
this thing for 2 years now. the old car is in great shape other than that
missing. i got it with 33k miles 3 1/2 years ago and it only has 90k on it
now. oh, no lights are on and the check engine light works, but is not
lit. any help would be appreciated. thank you.

When my car started misfiring I changed out the plugs wires cap and rotor
first. My mechanic then told me it was more than likely the coil. So I put
a new coil on. Ended up being the plugs. I used Bosch platinums on the
previous change and it worked for about 3 mos. Tried them again and no
luck. Went back to the NGK iridiums i had before the boschs(they were still
sitting on a bench in the garage) and it went away.
Anyway I'd have to say if it's not plugs wires cap and rotor, go for the
coil.

I don't think the Olds Alereo has a cap and rotor - I think it has DIS.
