Thanks Everyone!
Got the car back from the shop today and it's no longer misfiring!! All fixed
I had posted a while ago about my misfire and a number of you suggested it was plug wires. It looks like this was the problem. I ordered some Taylor Thundervolt 8.2mm wires and got replacement Delco plugs. I only got halfway through the job so the shop helped me with the hard stuff. This work fixed the misfire.
I noticed one little cut in one of the wires that I took off. Haven't checked the others yet. These were OEM wires and were replaced less than a year ago. The sparks that came out looked ok.
Engine code was random misfire, and this is how it drove.
I also got a hole fixed in the exhaust, but this wasn't the cause of the misfire.
So back to smooth 8-cylinder action and brutal acceleration
You forget how awesome these cars are when you've not driven it for a while!
Thanks again, guys
