        man this sounds like the classic burnt plug wires problem. I have been there and no I couldn't see where the wires were burnt.

        also I noticed that you said you replaced the plugs, when you did this did you use dielectric grease on the wire boots? it's a really good idea to do so, keeps everything insulated and keeps from tearing up your boots when removing the plugs..

        honestly man I'd look into getting a new set of wires, the odds of you physically seeing the problem are small..

        taylor wires from www.thunderracing.com are an excellent choice.. go to autozone and buy a tube of dielectric grease (about a buck) and use it on the plug boots, (not a good idea to use on the side that plugs into the coil)

        also when you route them be careful and zip ties can come in handy here also..
