Just Did resistance check 350 Ohm stock wire. Think I may have found the issue Coil pack 5 beside the oil fill on the valve cover. Was soaked with oil inside the low voltage connector. Cleaned it up and now I am going to test it with a scope. May be a bad coil pack breaking down or just the oil in it was causing the issue. Will post results

Sounds like a bad wire or a coil wire connection---Some aftermarket wires don't "snap on" when installed--make sure you hear them snap when you install them--MSD wires are known for this--the coil boots are too small and the wires won't click in and sometimes even pop off--
other than that you may have inadvertantly closed the gap of a plug while installing them--check all the lugs again--
