I have a 2003 buick Rendevezous it has a 3.4 motor with 81451 mileage. My computer tells me that it has 1 of 2 codes in it cylinder 5 misfires, I had cylinder 5 plug, wire and coilpack replaced ant it still keeps giving me the same code. It also idles irratically especially when I come to a red light it I let the rpm's go below 1 1/2 the motor will die, but whenever you get up to speed you cannot feel it idle funny. It is driving me cracy. I need help with this issue. Someone told me I need a new motor could someone please tell me or at least help me with this problem

Hey Familygal,

It sounds like it could be one of two problems, first it could be low compression which you will need to test, the next problem it could be is the injector, here are two guides which you can use to help you find the problem.
