Yours must be missing at idle, mine does the same and also displays code 13. I'm going to have it looked at when it's next serviced.
It doesn't miss when in Drive or Reverse, yours too?
How hard was it to replace the oxygen sensor?
1 inch spanner and a jack...
Has anyone got a VN V6 that doesn't pop at idle here and there? I mean, just wondering because I've never heard one that idles smoothly
no car actually idles smoothly tho... its just a matter of the exhaust note and ebing able to hear it
dont know if this is the problem|(as ive gorn throw the same stuff) but it could be your timming chain being worn or somthing,as ive heard that buick had put a peace of crap one on and over time when the k`s get over 200,it wear`s out or sumthing.gonna replace mine soon and tell you if that fix`s it

Lucky you. Mind you the series 2 Buick engine was a bit more refined than the early series 1 that was dropped in the early VN's. Christ, I've got one of the first S1 VN's and that thing's a bitch at idle, always has been.Originally Posted by timbra_88
Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.
my old '89 vn calais used to pur like a kitten at idle...and it had over 240k on it....but yeah,some vn's have a pretty rough idle,ive been in one that was so violent it would shake the whole car about when idleing
Heads have been changed. I noticed when i am in gear say reverse it will stall cause the rev hunts. Still pop and trust me i have changed every sensor there it. I changed the o2 sensor easy as. All u need is a 1/2 inch drive 7/8 Deep reach socket and jobs done. I know they dont idle good at the best of times but its shitting me and im sure they never come out like that, any other ideas would be great thanks guys.
