Need Help Changing Spark Plug Wires
Saturday, October 14, 2006 7:34 AM
I have a 94 RS 2.2l that has picked up a bad miss, sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders. After it warms up it's better but feel like the cylinder keep sdropping out. I'm thinking a bad wire or fouled plug. I was going to pull the wires and measure the ohms in them but I can see where they go. I was assuming that they would just go to the distriburator or some type of coil pack. They loop over the back to the engine to somewhere I can't see.

Any help apprechated.

The coil packs (2 of them) are bolted to the right side of the block, which in a FWD car makes it the "back" of the block since it's turned sideways.

Easiest access for me has always been to go from underneath. If you lay underneath the car and shine a bright light up between the firewall and the side of the block you'll see them.

Use ramps, those ramps where you just drive your car up and it tilts it upward, then just slide underneath it and you'll see two coil packs. It's really not that hard. usually when your car runs like its on three cyclinders...its mostly containing to the coil packs going out which was the case with my brothers 94 grand am.
