Bad miss - fixed Just a heads up to you'all.
Had a bad miss off and on the last week or so. Logged misfires on 2,6,7,8 and it was not constant. Checked the obvious, plugs, wires etc..
Found a intermittant ground problem on the ground lug on the back of the passenger head. Was cleaning the lugs and reinstalled and it was much worse after starting it back up. Just touched the ground wires and it made a differance so it had a break in the wire.
Fixed.
Just a heads up that if you do a lot of wrenching on the car, those gnd wires on the back of the heads can get weak and break when moved alot.
