Rushman04 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 alright i have been having this problem with arcing down by the coils. The arc jumps to the block and grounds out and makes my idle sh**. I have had the problem before and it worked it way back but i want to fix the problem. Should i get new spark plug wires? or coils. The car is a 92 grand prix with a 3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Try mixing a salt and water solution in a spray bottle and spray the plug wires and coils, you should be able to see where its arcing from, replace what you need to from there. Its best if you do this in a dark shop or something, its easier to see the arcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
