umm... no 3.8 was a great motor.. 3.1 = nasty piston slapumm....the 60 degree V6s were very successful motors for GM...they hardly ever had problems(with the exception of the 3.4 DOHC). GMs problem has never been engines, its FWD trannies.

You have obviously never installed remote starters for a living then... It takes a resistor and a relay and is not rocket science.no, I definitely haven't. I'm not trying to say it's difficult. I just haven't seen many people do it right. I've fixed plenty of home-brewed attempts at soldering in resistors, wired-in keys.. just saying if he can still crank the engine over, the problem isn't VATS-related.

I seemed to have fixed the car now. I changed the fuel filter which was nasty. Then last night I checked for spark and it was getting it. I pulled one plug and it was ok, but it was showing signs of wear. I pulled out another spark plug close to the oil fill cap and I found a pile of oil. the Plug was toast. So i pulled the next plug and it was even worse. When I had the oil changed the lube tech must have spilt oil into the spark plug hole. I replaced the front three plugs for now since i have to remove the intake mainifold to get to the rears.
Anyways i went to start the car and still wouldnt start. It was still flooded. I finally got it started and it smoked to beat hell for 5 mins. It seems fine now, so later today I am replaceing the rest of the plugs and all the wires. Gayness
