help...rough idle still !!

10-13-2002, 08:31 PM

Originally had SES code 305, cylinder 5 misfire. A guy on one of these message boards told me that
the plug wires probably got arched by laying on the exhaust manifolds. So I got a tune up, new
plugs, and replaced the stock plug wires myself with taylor 8mm wires. After I changed the wires,
car started right up like normal but nothing seemed to change at all. The engine still idles rough
and seems to lack power when I accelerate at higher speeds. Any ideas??
