in regards to my hard to start (sometimes) VN V6, i was getting a truck fixed at the auto elecs and spoke to him about it and he suggested i bring it in so he can look at it.
it was perfect timing because it wouldn't start when i got there so he could check it out, he ended up having it for a day and couldn't figure it out either.
he put a second hand coil pack in it to see how it goes and told me to come back in a week.
if it is working ok then we will put a new coil pack in it.
again i thank you all for your suggestions
