HELP! GSL-SE running like a V6 missing a Cyl





Had this car for a few years and have come to understand a fair bit about the fuel, ignition system .etc.... never heard this before...never had any engine problems :-(



Car back fired Bad and then "miss" appeared .. drove home slowly under powered.



Can you tell me what you think it is ... and what is the best solution..



Thanks in advance

check for spark on your leading spark plugs, mine did that and it was a bad igniter (ignition module)
