hey everyone i just replaced the wires and plugs twice and my engine is missing sparatically every once and a while (about half the time :mad: ). we took off the plug wires when it was running and all 3 wires shot 4 inch spark like normal to metal except cyllinder 3 only would make a spark about a half an inch long. any farther away it wont make the spark at all. its got a weak spark in that cylinder and i dont think its the wires or plugs. do you guys think its the coil pack? any ideas where to get one? my car feels fine unless the miss is going on then it sucks. please help- Rob
 
did your problem begin after you changed the plugs the first time?
Here's where I'm going with this, when pulling the wire off the plug, it's easy for the wire to slip inside the boot & therefore not make good contact with the plug. Look to see how deep into the boot is the metal plug connector & adjust it's position in the boot to make sure it locks onto the spark plug.
You may have to seperate the rubber cap from the boot extension tube to adjust the wire position inside.
