There could be many reasons why the engine has no spark. A few reasons could be that the starter or starter solenoid is going bad, or the battery is drained.

Why would the engine have no oil pressure when it is cold?

this is normal, when the car is cold or off. the oil sinks down in to the oil pan.,. If this is a GM engine you may be using an aftermarket oil filter that allows oil to drain back this is not a good thing and can cause engine damage. GM has a TSB on this very problem.


What is GM 3100 intake manifold replacement procedure?

It would be best to get a copy of a GM factory shop manual for any W car that uses this engine and carefully follow the procedures described. There are 2 things that will make this job easier however. Lisle makes a tool that allows you to compress the rocker arms so the push rods can be removed (they pass through the lower manifold) without disassembling the rocker arms. They also make a tool that will allow you to rotate the engine forward making this job easier and provide access to the rear spark plugs. Also be sure to use the GM gasket upgrade kit and new manifold bolts and torque exactly to spec. Follow the procedures exactly as it is easy to assemble things out of sequence making the next step difficult or impossibles. I have successfully done this job at home and all fluid leaks were corrected. But it does take an entire day or 2. It is important not to treat these engines like an old iron V8. Stay away from them with the old air wrench.

There are some comments that you should not adjust the gap sizes of the plugs and use them the way they come out of the box. Hmmm .. I have a 1999 Grand Prix GTP with the 3.8L V6 supercharged engine. My GM owners manual states a gap of .060 for all the replacement plugs listed not only for my engine but for all Grand Prix engine sizes of that year 3.1 / 3.8 / 3.8SC Check your GM owners manual .. it will state there in the section of different replacement parts, what spark plugs to use and the gap size
