Re: code p0300 missfire cyl#4

Thanks will, u're right, sorry for the messup. I meant cyl1 for the hydrolock but the scanner gave me #4 so I'll do the checks you said the first time around-at the real #4-.

Re: code p0300 missfire cyl#4

Just to clarify, the cyl I'm talking about (thought #4, may be wrong) is front bank extreme left as you open the hood- towards the bumper and towards the belt(s)-
this is where I saw hydrolok on a non-s/c series II bonne.

Ok, I'm talking ...

code p0300 missfire cyl#4

Hello,

I got this code (1995 riviera s/c vin 1) and using the scanner I got cyl#4 misfire. I noticed that if I bring the rpm's up to 1500rpm for a while and let go, the cyl will misfire, otherwise not-idle only-. then I revved a little more 2000rp and let go, it did not misfire again
I have new ...

Thanks for the reply!
Do you know if they machined the valve body to install an oversize valve, or just drop-in replacement?
Thanks

Re: Illustrated 4T65E Rebuild

Thanks for the reply.
According to the service manual it's under the side cover.
U're right, I should move the thread.

back on the topic of your rebuild, can you list the special tools you needed for this rebuild?
In my service manual there is a huge bunch of them... scary...
thx!

Hi from Montreal

Hi,
Although I always loved the bonnevilles (mostly the early '90's and 2000) always ended up w/buicks! My first buick was a '91 park ave ultra (non s/c) and now I have a '95 riv s/c. My next car may be a 2000 bonne.
My other car is a '89 trans am gta 350.
I also have a bike, '98 klr 650.

Thanks,
J
