    1) the car is missing when pulling up a hill some?
    -nope only on start-up

    2) Does it miss more when wet?
    -not really

    3) No codes come up or have come up ?
    -Just P0300...

    4) Have you had it checked with a Scanner like a Snap On type Scanner Not just a normal scanner. I have the normal scanner, but does not detect a lot of the other functions that could be causing you the problems.
    -Ummm I had autozone and Advance pull the codes, I believe they have a normal one

    5 ) If you changed plug wires, did you put the good ones on the car like the NAPA or just a replacement brand? I had to change mine 3 times as the plug wires even though brand NEW just were JUNK.
    -I replaced em with autolites, I just bought a set of A/C delco, gonna replace 'em with those.

    6) Not highly recommended, but I have seen others start the car and then spray a light mist of water over the engine to see if they get any missing, but again with so many sensors on a car it is not highly recommended.
    -nah, I don't think it matters lol

    7) Is the car shifting OK? through all the gears?
    -yes very smoothly, smoother than before

    8) I had a spare coil pack module which is under the coil packs, I even changed that on mine, but I do not recall the symptoms of the coil pack module effects on a symptom like yours. I would think it would either work or not work. Some say heat can cause the coil pack module to malfunction. I made sure mine was clean and then put some heat sink compound on it.
    -I have it tested 15 times at autozone ( 15 times to get the ICM hot ) tested good.

    9) When car misses, 99% of the time a code would come up and give you a route to follow to find the issue. What year did you say your car was??
    -2006, it's been missing for like 40K miles now...It recently just started throwing a code, which I have to get it inspected this month.

    Hi,

    Still sticks in my mind the scanner like Snap On will do you some good. I am not sure how much you get into the engine, but with some of the problems you are having seems like the Injectors can cause some issues. Have you ever put a can of Sea Foam in your gas tank and ran it? I do it every so often, it has kept the injectors clean. I have a set up " an older GM fuel rail that I use to check the injectors " I have pulled all my injectors out and put them on the fuel rail and individually tested each fuel injector for the spraying. I have a solution I obtained off the internet I used to clean the injectors.

    Missing when not wet, I would feel takes away the plug wires and such. The car being a 2006 so it is a series III, same as mine then. Bad fuel, crap in the fuel all can cause the fuel injectors to act up. I had to replace all my fuel injectors on my 2004 GTP as it sat for awhile and the injectors gummed up and I could not even clean them out. Luckily the injectors on the Supercharged 3800 are easy to get to and change.

    Hope you get to the bottom of the problem soon as I am sure you are getting Tired of wondering what the problem is.
