    So ive been having problems with my car misfiring at high rpm: http://www.grandprixforums.net/misfi...rpm-57314.html
    I was scratching my head for about 2 weeks. I changed my spark plugs to autolite 104's and it was still acting up. So for some reason I thought maybe its those metal spark plug retainers, you know the ones that have that spring in them. So I took off those from the front 3 wires, and took a ride with my scan gauge showing my misfires in each cylinder. Well it didnt misfire in cylinders 1,3, and 5 but it did in 2,4, and 6. I then took them off the back 3 cylinders and now the car runs 100%. I couldnt believe that was the problem but my car is running great and im happy again.

    Ha I had the same problem a year ago. Turns out it was the metal sheild sparking with an exhaust manifold bolt.

    Sounds like faulty wires.

    Contact ZZP, they have some special warranty going on right now.

    Thats what I was thinking it could have been. I just bought the wires about a month ago. Ill contact ZZP just to see what they say.
