Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: 93 buick misfires in overdrive, chevy lovers, spark plugs


Question
I have a 93 Buick 3.8 V6 Lesabre that misfires or vibrates when car is running in overdrive and you give it gas. This is the only time it runs bad and does not do it everytime. 130,000 miles Changed spark plugs and air filter. Had no other problems. Not sure if its Motor or Transmission

Answer
Hello Billy,
I had the same symptoms on a 95 Olds.
I am sending two links for a forum that I spend time on. The links are for this exact discussion.
I am Fixitfox33 on that forum, so if you go to those two threads and read them, everything I say there is what I would say to you.

Now, that may NOT be what your problem is, but it sure sounds possible.

While you are visiting those links, you might want to sign up for the absolutely free membership to the Chevy Lovers forum, and you can ask your own questions, and do searches.
It is a great site.
Here are the links.
