Buddy has this car, it is showing a misfire on 3... which plug is 3?

With hood open, 3 plugs are easy to get to, 3 back ones are under the intake.

Thanks

Going by Murphy's law, the number three plug should be the hardest one to get to.

My son has a Sable, not sure what year - looks nice, comfy, etc -

Water pump went out, cost over $1200 to fix :eek:

Seems some "rocket surgeon" thought it was a good idea to make the pump part of the BLOCK, instead of something you could actually WORK on.

Apparently, Edsel Ford had kids (pity) and at least one of 'em went into the family business (another pity)

Before you jerk the manifold, you may wanna look for a removable strut that (when dis-connected) allows the engine to tilt forward - I know the V6 version of older Chev Celebrity had that.

If that were MY buddy, I'd recommend he get it running and trade it for something repairable... Steve
