my vzsv6 is running rough

[davidvass]

when i take off hard the car starts to cut out. it like it is not getting enough fuel and also when it is going at about 2 to 3000 revs it starts to splatter.

found out the spark plugs were the problem. cost was $258.00. Thank god it was not the coil packs. Then it would of cost $1000.00.

I was thinking that, even the NGK Platinums are $14.50 each, at most its $87.. unless it was around $170 labour?

 

[davidvass]

sorry total price was $258.50. $90 for the plugs, $55 for the manifold gasket and $90 for labour. plus tax. not cheap.

Ah, well on the up side, if any other work has to be done that requires the plenum to be taken off, they won't need to replace the gasket as the new one would have been metal and reusable.
