Take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop . Stop trying to fix something you have no clue about . If you have to ask on here an just replace a bunch of parts ,you have no business working on it

    They ask questions because they want possible solutions to save money instead of paying $100 or more an hour to garages .

    All the parts they replaced costed more then it would have cost at a competent repair shop. They have no clue an shouldn't even try to repair their own car .

SOURCE: My '04 Alero 6 cylinder has a #2 cylinder misfire. I have changed the plugs, ignition wires, and the coil pack. Is there any other reason this problem continues to happen?

Sure, there are LOTS more possible reasons including:

> Blown head gasket
> Burned valves
> Broken valve spring
> Collapsed valve lifter
> Bad fuel injector
> Fuel injector circuits open or shorted
> Vacuum leak at intake manifold runner
> Vacuum leak at injector O-ring
> Worn-out or broken piston rings
> Cracked piston
> Cracked cylinder head
> Worn camshaft lobe
> Defective Powertrain Control Module

To put it simply, proper diagnosis needs to be performed in order to eliminate the possibilities and get to the root of the problem so you do not end up spending your life savings on parts that your car does not need. As you have probably discovered by now, diagnosis by parts replacement can get very expensive very quickly.

I have a 98 grand am blew a head gasket, ive had the heads reworked and new gaskets now the car doesn't start, just turns over. what could be the problem?

Check if you have spark at the spark plug. Go buy yourself one plug. Take any plug wire off plug in engine. Attach plug wire to new plug and touch a ground on engine with new plug threaded side. Have someone start engine and watch for spark. If spark exsist, look for fuel problem.
