Misfire

[98Camaro3.8]

I had 2 (different) stock wires die in a year. Was under warranty then, so the dealer did it for free. Now I've got aftermarket wires on with no probs.

then you must not be doing this much nor long. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

plug wires are a simple maintanance that ever car has to keep up with.

my father has been doing this for 50+ years just about every day of his life... i think thats long enough

and he hasnt had to replace many spark plug wires.....riiiight

wires go bad in our cars all the time.... even out of the blue

well changed the coil today and found out that wasnt it.. looks like the wires are next


again today the light came on and #1 misfire (PO301) now if this plug wire doesnt work (have changed spark plug and coil) what else could it be?? does each injector have its own fuel filter? why would it not be a constant... for instance drove the car about 50 miles today.. about 25 miles it missed the other 25 it didnt.. and these were including stops at stores and such

[99marodriver]

could an injector also be causing all this??

so i went to get new wires today and the car is so bad i couldnt even make a couple miles.. misfires like crazy, has no power and the service engine like came on and not blinks... have no idea what to do now

could be a dying injector

but if its running that is more then one misfiring has to be at least 2

what do you guys use to get #3 spark plug wire off?? with the heat shield and all there isnt enough room to just pull it off.. is there?
