Mine did that and I found out it was the weatherpack connector that connected the wiring harness to the coil packs. I jiggled mine around and it would miss. I replaced those and it hasn't missed a lick since. It's worth a shot.

haven't pullled any plugs yet, plug wires look good. I'll take a look at those weather pack connectors, no check engine light either.
Thanks for the suggestions.

XportC5,

I seem to recall that C-5 TECH posted recently that the injector harness was prone to chaffing on the loom clamp and causing a miss. I think he said to look at #7....that may be wrong, but I think it was on the left bank.

If it is missing that bad I think you should see a flashing light.

Good luck.
Mark
