yesterday the car was driving fine,today i started it up and its misfiring like crazy.at idle it starts at 1.5-2k and seems to stop after that,but while driving its all the way thur the band except for every now and then its like something gives way and i get full power.

i just poped in new plugs and that didn't help so i think its either the coil or the wires..is there anyone near bristol,tn that will let me try theirs out to see if thats it?if so you can email me at talclipse@gmail.com or give me a call at 423 963 6996..

new plugs? check your wires, that seems to be the problem I've always had when wires go bad for me, is it more noticable after the car has warmed?

nope no change in cold vs hot.from the time its started till you cut it off the miss is there..i took it to auto zone and read the codes its throwin and it said there were 3 misfires reported..the only time the mis gets better or worse is when your going up a hill(LOTS WORSE,sounds like a piston is going to come out) and when whatever gives and you get full power.

the wires(9mm ractive) have been on there for about a year and maybe 5-7k on them.i checked them over and outside of a little durt they look and feel new. i also dont hear any achin..

my new set of ractive wires shipped today so maybe that will fix it.

no oil in your spark plug wells? I've had the valve cover gromets go bad and leak into the spark plug wells and cause arcing there

i didnt see any on the plugs when i pulled them.

also keep in mind that the car was running fine just the day b4 this started(parked the car and everything was fine,fired it up the next day and the mis was there).so i would think that something like a gasket or even the wires wouldnt be fine one day and bad the next,rather it seems to be electrical either the coil or a sensor.

if it's one and four or two and three it's your coil, the setup is one coil pack for two cylinders, the two packs built into the same unit, check it again and find out what the specific cyls are. if you got three codes, chances are that you got 2 specific misfires and a random/multiple misfire code

im not getting 3 codes,just one code sayin 3 misfires happend.how should i test which cylinders are misfirin?just take #1/4 wires off then #2/3?

that's a good way to test, do one at a time just to be sure, if there's no change on a matching set then you know what's bad

ok i found "A" prob i dont know if its "THE" prob tho..

started the car up and the mis was gone for a few revs then it came back.
popped off #1 wire and it ran like ass.
popped off #2 wire not much of a change.
popped off #3 wire not much of a change.
popped off #4 wire and it ran like ass.

now at this point i figured yeap its the coil but after messing with the #2-3 wires the mis went away for a few revs.so i took those off again and this time on #3 it started popped and aching and after checking it over the shaft that goes into the cyl has holes in it,not really a crack or break more like archin happing on the inside and over time has ate at the shaft.

also i found some oil in cyl #1 and 2.not a flood or any standing more like a drop or 2 just enough to coat the tip of the shaft.i checked to see if any oil was running into the cyl while running and didn't see any..

if there's holes in the side of the boot, you might be lucky and just need the new wires, could be a prob that just never was enough to be noticable, start with the new wires and watch the

sorry, watch the oil in the plug wells, it might just be spillage from topping off, but it could be bad VC grommets, if the wires don't fix it, almost certain it's the coil

cool.i have a set of wires and a coil coming so i should be good..the grommets that you are talkin about are the round(around 1.5")rubber gaskets that come in the VC set right?
