i fixed a 3800 v6 buick having a problem mis firing at start-up on the 2nd cylinder. Turns out the spark plug wire was frayed a little right before the spark-plug itself. Check your wires first if it aint that youll probably have to fix the distrubutor or coil packs (which ever i dont know)

the plug wires on the 3800 camaros get carbon tracked really easy , and more so with the heat shields on the end of the plug wires


replace all the wires , and do not put the heat shields back on the end of the wires


and have fun they arent the easiest to change , even if you have the car 6ft in the air
