BIG Smile on my face...
Ok, anyone that has a random miss, check this out. I was troubleshooting a stuttering/hiccupping problem with my car, and we finally put or hands on the culprit, removed it from the car, threw it to the ground, and jumped on t repeatedly. Then cleaned it up and tried to take pics, but the camera's dead 
Anyway, my #3 NGK spark plug wire that I've had on my car for 4 years now bit the dust. It's got a crack down the hard plastic tube from under the top boot, 3/4 the way down to the electrode end. PLUS, looking at the end where the sparkplug goes, the circle that clips onto the plug is an oval now. It was worn away over time, and heat, I suppose.
Car bawls out now, no missing, no problems... I think I'll go pick a fight with my buddy in his auto trannied C5 Vette now
I

Re: BIG Smile on my face... (LsTurbo91)
I had that problem when I turbo'd the original motor in my '87. I thought was tripping or something because it had less power than when it was N/A. Turns out #1 & #2 weren't firing. It got me confusied as to what was going on for like a week.
Ahh the good ole' days. Now I have head gasket problems. Not even th cometics can hold on a stacked deck.

Re: BIG Smile on my face... (PelowisheshewascoolTudo)
I had already replaced the coil, and the igniter.... so God knows if those two helped at all... 
$80 down the drain for the igniter, coil was a planned upgrade that was forced into action...
