help please?
I have a 1999 olds 88 that shows a multiple random misfire code. The coil packs, plugs, wires, fuel filter and fuel pump have all recently been replaced. It'* main problem seems to be on hard acceleration. (take off from a dead stop, and climbing the many hill around here.) Any ideas? TIA, Leah

Check the fuel injector as well. Its not a very common problem, but I did replace one on a supercharged 3800 a month ago that was throwing a misfire code.

Yes. And the code remains the same after each repair. I replaced the fuel pump, because when looking for the filter, I discovered a small gas leak on the lines. The car seems to do a little better after the pump & filter replacement.. however it is still rough on take off & hills. And the check engine light stays on.. but flashes when it starts bucking.

I just got the car.. so the coils, wires & plugs were already replaced. The mechanic checked the coil packs, said they look good. None of the plugs are fouled & do appear to be new. The wires show no sign of wear either.
