Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Pontiac Grand Prix 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
Hi- I have a Pontiac Grand prix 2000 with a V6 3.8 engine with 100,000 miles. About 3 months ago,my check engine light came on. I plugged in my code reader and got a code of 301 ( cylinder # 1 misfire). I went to the garage,and the mechanic checked the spark plug,and found it cracked (a split down the side) He changed the plug, and everything was ok for about 2000 miles - then again another 301 code. He again changed the plug and also put on a new set of AC delco plug wires. It was ok until about another 2000 miles - you guessed it - another plug with a hair line split down the side. I am using AC delco 41-101 plugs. This problem is driving me crazy,and nobody can tell me why this is happening. I even spoke to GM mechanics, and they,like all the rest,say they have never ever heard of a problem like this. Also, the car temperature is normal. I sure am hoping you can find an answer to my problem Thank You. Russell.
