And my miss isnt always there. Some days she runs fine and others she seems to stumble until highway speeds? She has 133,000 and as far as I know hasnt ever been tuned up.

Good to hear! how did you figure out witch two it was? I don't have any check engine light coming on but I still have the miss from time to time. And I know how ya feel, I had to do the heater core on mine when I first got her. What a pain in the @ss!. I guess laying across the motor to get to the back plugs might be a little better on the back but it looks tight back there

yeah I will be laying my 6'3 230 frame across the engine for sure..... I knew because I have a simple OBDII monitor that threw the P0603 or what ever code meaning it was 6 and then I changed to see if the problem moved with it when I put it into 1. The problem did more with it but I was picking up zero codes.... I just replaced both kept the one I had taken out of 1 for whatever reason.... hoarder I guess and now no miss. With that many miles I would do all the plugs coils and belt if it has not been done. I bought the accel version for like 189 but I see cheaper ones out there for under 100 for all 8... they go again and I will be using a cheaper option... I bet when I do the plugs and replace them all it really runs well because just with the two without plugs I swear I can tell the difference... best of luck

I know how your feelin, reaching back to unsnap those heater hoses from the old core was a nitemare. I still have scarred knuckles and that was a few months ago. I just bought one of those OBDII hand held scanners from harbor freight but have yet to use it. I thought if I had no light on the dash that it wouldnt show anything but I'll give it a try anyway. The cops I got were the accel copies and at 130 for all 8 off Ebay,thought I'd save a buck or two......... I just got back from a 16hr trip, to and from Tennessee and she only missed every now and then but it was enough to burn up some gas thats for sure. So tomorrow its coils, plugs and I'll change the belt because its definitely seen better days. Only hope I dont have any of those plug problems everyone keeps talking about. I'll do the seafoam and let'm soak a few hours. Thanks again for all the info, I appreciate it
