Read complaints for BURKE HOIST CYLINDER (1988)
Driving to work as normal and took off from a full stop when all of a sudden the car was going nuts trying to catch a gear. Service engine light blinked than stayed on and now when driving between 1st and 3rd gear car sputters, shakes, slams into gear hard and i need to keep giving it gas to get it to catch so i move and don't get stuck in the middle of making a turn. It is a 99 grand prix se 3800 engine sedan and i brought it to my good friend who owns a shop and the computer said it was a c1 misfire solenoid or something like that.on my engine, the left side has 3 things that 2 spark plug wires goes into each and are labeled 1/3, 2/5 and 4/6 (might be wrong on numbers). The code was saying the first one that says 1/3 was bad causing the misfire.we changed the part and the service engine line went off and car drove fine. The next morning i went togo work and at the first light, i go to take off and it starts shaking and sputters and becomes almost impossible to drive. During this the service engine line blinked than stayed on steady.now the car has trouble catching a gear from 1st to 3rd and it feels like a roller coaster just trying to take off from a stop or during heavy traffic.i replaced everything else on the car and give up with problems. There has to be a defect that pontiac won't admit.
