"RANDOM MISS FIRE" CODE WITH TAYLOR HEADER WIRES???
Hello!!
What can be wrong with pre assembled out of the box taylor header wires ? Engine (2004 LS6) starts and runs fine but ecm sends "random miss fire " code . With stock wires no code !!
Can you recomend me good header wire set because stock ones are too tight fit.

had the same problem w/ taylor wires before. even if i make 600rwhp i'm sticking w/ stock wires. 
random misfire that was a pain in the ***.. bought a new coil pack .. played muscial chairs w/ that..
changed all the plugs
finally got a stock set of wires and bam problem solved.

I second the MSD wires, and they don't come apart as easy when removing them like Taylors do. Although, I never had a problem with Taylor and still run them on everything else. Just got sick of everytime I took them off the C5, the boots on atleast one would tear off, or the connector inside would tear off.

I had MSD's and went back to stock where I could due to loose connections. I still retain about 4 of the MSD's due to headers and am still getting misfire codes occasionally at constant 2800+/-rpm cruising. I don't know if it's the wires though. BTW, when I did have plug wire issues the car would idle like it was only on 4 cyl's. FYI, I'm pushing over 600rwhp for over 7000 miles now with the stockers.
