1986 Olds Cutlass Ciera 3.8 LN3 misfire
My 1986 Olds 3.8l LN3 still has a misfire, though crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, spark plugs and cables are new, why is that still?

Sparkplugs are not suppose to be painted.
All cylinder misfire, or a single cylinder. Codes?

That'* actually the LG2/LG3, which is a bit different of an animal. You will want to make sure you are using parts specific to it, and not the LN3.

Inexcusable in a 90 degree V6, IMHO. Service life was acceptable in a light duty V8, but many of these V6s (both 3.0 and 3.8 Buick) of this era meet an untimely death due to the nylon shedding into the oiling system. Buick fixed these when it became the 3800 (as well as other issues).
