I would say when the veh is cold. I know i dont have a vaccume leaks, no intake leaks either. when its cold or wet outside and when veh is cold, it misses. That pic in my avitar was taken before i redid the plugs,wires,2 coils, cap and rotor. I will do the hood thing again tonight when its dark. I might just get some NOLOGY wires if the wires are arcing because i got the best wires TORCH RUN (in moon) has. I'll just take them back if they are the problem.

As far as you go Bill (beastmode)<what a joke name, ur POS truck sell yet???? thats what i thought!

I went to ben first and he cracked one of my plugs and we had to replace after we drove home. I am better off goin to John(his boss) for answers/repairs!

If you are still fighting this, does it smell rich when it is running? Any smoke? And usually a vacuum leak will raise the idle, not make it miss. Do you have the ability to plug in a good scan tool that will give you actual engine temp via the ECM? The guage and ECM have different sending units. Is your EGR sticking?
