Code P0306 indicated misfire on Cylinder 6.
A little background on this vehicle.
Just bought it from my neighbor who bought it new and only has 60,703 miles. Runs absolutely fine. This vehicle has not been run for 2 years. It just sat in her garage.
When I tried starting the vehicle it would turn over but would not fire. I sprayed a little Starter fluid in it and it started up fine. Ran rough for a very few second then leveled out. The light came on while I was driving it across the street to my house.
What do you think is the most logical problem. I have been reading your forum concerning other posts related to this code. I am not a mechanic by a long shot.
I thought I would check out the #6 cylinder spark plug but man it is way on the back of the engine. I could not be so lucky for it to be on the front so I could remove and check it out.
I am thinking that since it set up for 2 years it most likely is a plug problem, I hope.
if they are original then it's quite likely an ignition wire is bad although after sitting for that long an injector could be gummed up as well! I'd start with a tune-up using premium quality ign wires and the correct AC delco plugs and try a fuel system treatment or cleaner if the code persists!
Those cars are known for injector problems!
Thanks for this information. I will try the injector cleaner first before replacing the wires and plugs. If code comes back after I have ran the cleaner for a while and reset the codes, then I will replace the wires with GM band wires and manufactured recommended plugs.
