miss at idle, help!
2002 silverado, 4.8, pacesetter lt's ORY, stock intake, ported TB, Futral tune.
It started out as a miss at idle when cold outside. after searching and seeing intake gaskets as the culprit i replaced them today. while i was at it i finally got around to pulling/replacing a broken header bolt. now that it is reassembled on the first test drive, within a minute of driving it started to miss at idle real bad (was idling around 400 or so). came home, triple checked all connections, all were good. put a timing light (just to check fire) and it seems that the entire drivers side was sporadically getting fire. pulled the main coil pack plug off, put dielectric grease and put back. long story short i thought all was well and after just running the the store it ran great for about 15 minutes then started acting up again.
sorry its so long, didnt want to leave out details
