Re: 3.4 V6 Misfiring

How long have you had this car, and do you know what was done to it before you got it...

What kind is it.
3.4 and 3.8 have different ignition systems.

Happened to me before too. Recommend pulling the coils and checking the resistances across the terminals. The specs are listed in the Chilton's / Hayne's manuals. Might as well change the plugs / wires while you're at it too. Good luck!
