blackdragon · August 17th, 2007, 01:00 PM

i thought this was the section my bad. and no it didnt throw a rod im about to tear off the heads and see if it snaped a connecting rod. or a piston pin.

TurboLX · August 17th, 2007, 01:23 PM

lol yea its called "All other vehicles"

but maybe the crank snapped?

blackdragon · August 20th, 2007, 04:06 PM

i dont think so ill take alook at it. and i dont know how to move things around do i just start another one in all other vehicles?

I had the same problem out of my 1996 bonneville. but you could have a different culprit. I had a bad ground, yes a bad ground, behind the driver side kick panel. This ground goes to the fuel pump and the power windows. it caused my fuel pump to quit working then start working so fast that my car backfired. then my pump completely quit working. I think that this ground also connects to the ECM.

i just found out by looking at the door its a 1996 and the crank is bent i just put anew one in and its still doing the same thing.

radster87 · August 23rd, 2007, 10:08 AM

also check out the cam. They have been know to break, its not very common though.

blackdragon · August 24th, 2007, 10:54 AM

ok im gonna check the cams see what happens then.

radster87 · August 25th, 2007, 04:42 AM

don't you mean cam? there is only one, and you do have the series 2 right?

blackdragon · August 30th, 2007, 03:57 PM

the cams are fine it must have aftermarket heads on it running dohc. im really confused i just bought a painless wirringkit to see if thats it too.

radster87 · August 30th, 2007, 10:05 PM

I am confused too. The 1996 pontiac bonneville had a 3800 series 2 engine. It is a 90 degree v-6. it has one cam in the block, not overhead cams. the bonneville was never offered with DOHC. nor are there any aftermarket heads that will allow a swap to use DOHC, so either your car has an engine swap or you are mistaken.

blackdragon · September 5th, 2007, 04:03 PM

i took the engine out of the car and i hace it on my truck im going to take it into the dealership and ask them about the numbers if they match the car.

radster87 · September 5th, 2007, 10:37 PM

that is a good idea. GM only made 2 DOHC v-6's the 3.4 and the northstar 3.6

blackdragon · September 11th, 2007, 02:53 PM

the engine is fucked pontiac ppl said the engine is toast and the cams are done and its a 5.7 liter v-6 the engine is all out of ballance and its done it got fried.
