And you are...Who???
The cylinder locations are like this;
-------------------------------------
1-2-3-4
back head
front head
5-6-7-8-
front of car
------------------------------------------
It also is not uncommon for coil to fail,coil is located above spark plug,I would replace the spark plug as well,all the plugs if tune up is due 60k.

The gen3 SHO does not need a tune-up at 60K.

www.v8sho.com has a new and improved google search feature. That would be a good place to start.

Are your cams welded? Just considering the worst-case scenario. Other than that, coil pack failures seem to be common on these cars as well.

Hi, you're lucky that the bad coil is on the front, it will take you like 10 minutes to fix it. first disconect the battery,second remove engine vanity cover(the one that says V8 SHO) 4 nuts and 2 screws(10mm) socket,third remove 2 (8mm) screws on top of the coil (second coil from driver to passenger side) and remove the coil,put the new coil in place. Put everything back and enjoy your ride. Hope you can get your new coil cheap, otherwise youll pay betwen 90 to 150 for it.

I know that you do not need to hear it, but I will say it anyways. $1000 now is better than 20-30 times that because you are searching for a new car after your cams inevitably let go. It is a roll of the dice, my friend. Good luck, and do get welds and soon as the fundage comes your way.

There is a shop in Sacramento that can weld your cams. The cost shouldn't be any more than around $500. I paid $700 here in Wisconsin at Performance Plus, but that included a new set of plugs, power steering flush, and a diagnostic scan. It's cheap insurance - when/if your cams fail, you will be out more than the car is worth to fix it up :ruhroh: I bought my '98 knowing going in that I had another $500 out of pocket to pay for it, but it's worth it knowing that my engine will not self destruct
Drive unwelded at your own risk, just don't say we didn't warn ya'
