hmm, ima check wires, can someone give me the order on the coil pack and then order on the engine?
i thought the order for the engine was
1 3 5
2 4 6
and the coil pack had the numbers right on it
ima add like, 5 gallons of fuel to the car and put some water remover and fuel injector cleaner into the tank, and maybe i fits out there, fuel revitalizer?

Disconnect the fuel line from the rail and run the pump to get the gas out. Then change your fuel filterand put new gas in. I wouldn't be surprised if the injectors are gummed up inside as well from sitting. Letting a car sit for 3 years = all bad.

your coil pack should be 5-2-3-6-4-1
Sometimes the numbers are mislabled on the coils, cuz they also fit other cars like the Grand prix..etc.

1 and 4 can be switched, 6 and 3 can be switched, and 2 and 5 can be switched. Both fire at the same time

yeah, i got home, the wires are correct, now im beginning to think its a vacuum leak,
newest thing, when i start my alero, it goes right to redline, without me even touching the pedal, do the V6's TB's have gaskets? i think there is also a loose bolt on the TB....

Either way you need to get all that old gas out of the tank. It is not stable for that long. I had to dispose of 18 gallons of gas in my boat because it sat for a couple years.
