    Default please help !!!!!!! v6 vp sluggish

    hi all i have a v6 vp and just recently it has become slugish. i had a problem with it and i turned out that it dropped a cylinder cause of a spark plug, i fixed that and now it still idles low it dropes from 900rpm to 800rpm then back to 900 and drops and so on. and it dnt accel as hard and it feels slugish. i have a pod filter on but that has been on 4 about 5 weeks and the problem only started last week, i was just wonderin any tips 4 fixin it like does it need a service and tune or somethin, thanks chris

    try replacing all your plugs and ignition leads. you can test your leads with a multi meter. more than 10K ohms I would chuck them and get new ones.
