  • My baby is sick...please help

    Ok, I changed my plugs and wires yesyerday. It was an act of god, but I got it done. I used Taylor 8mm wires and NGKTR55 plugs. After I got done I fired her up and it purred like a kitten, took it for a drive and it was just as smooth as could be and I drove it hard and easy. I was quiet pleased. But I go down this morning and start the car and it immediatly starts jerking and sputtering. I took it down the road to see what was going to happen and It hesitated really bad and didnt want to move. Also got a flashing ses light.

    So I drove the truck to school and as soon as I came home I started to see what was wrong. I went back and made sure all the boots were all the way on the plugs. The #3 popped on a little, so I, excited, jumped back in the car and drove down the road. It helped, but I still have a miss and a solid ses light. Only when the car gets to low rpms while in gear it starts the jerking and sputtering. I didnt rev or anything cause I didnt damage anything but so far thats what I can tell.

    What do I do?

    I know I didnt cross a wire b/c I did them one at a time.

        Fixed it. Left #1 twisted to where it was sitting right on the manifold and it was fried. I put the old wire on and everything is fine.
