Default Valve spring Question

where can I get stock valve springs for my 2000 T/A? I tried searching the web and could only find aftermarket springs. Really I need just one or a couple just in case not a complete set. I have been having a misfire problem on #6 cylinder and I have replaced everything that would cause a misfire on that cylinder and am still having the problem. Quite a few people have told me to check the springs on that cylinder so I guess I'll try that next. A part # would be cool as well if anyone knows it.

Oh yeah If anyone thinks it could be something else let me know. I have replaced all my plugs, all my wires all injectors and swapped the coil pack with another cylinder. Still #6 misfire and it stumbles and Idles bad boggs down...... but not all the time just randomly through out the day.

Don"t sound like a valvespring if it acts up at idle.Post in the parts wanted,somebody will probably give you some stock springs.

I'm sorry I've explained this in so many other threads I tend to leave things out. It does it all over the board while driving,Idleing everywhere. you will just be driving along and all of a sudden it wont accept the gas your giving it. shutters real bad untill you let of the gas and then you have to kinda finagle with the gas pedal to accelerate again. Sometimes kill the ignition and start it back up and this will help for a little while.

You could do a leakdown test to determine if it is the springs,this would be easier then tearing into the motor.Sounds like a tuning issue,is it popping any codes?

It could possibly be a coil pack acting up, not likely but possible

I have already swapped the coil packs with different cylinders and it didn't fallow to the one I swapped with.
