    so after having spark plugs replaced and wires, i got a check engine light on, thinking it was something small, i still went and got it scanned and it came up as misfire in cylinder 1. I had a mechanic from ford ride with me and let him drive it to see if he could feel it misfiring and he said he could and i could from time to time, he said maybe my spark plugs are gaped wrong or the wire isnt connected properly. would this cause such a code? how do i check for spark in the wire? could it be a coil pack issue? Im new to the whole 3800 scene so im trying to figure something things out.

    What did you gap the plugs at? Gap them are .055, you can switch coil packs to see if the miss moves, it could also be an injector not firing.
