Fixed my miss at idle and ticking.....
Developed a miss at idle and a ticking on my 2000 SS and it steadily got worse over the weekend. Turned out to be a plug wire had a tear in it and was arcing to the egr/header connection. Fixed that, fired the car up and i'm still getting a missfire with a louder ticking, after an hour or so I found that the wire harness running to coilpack on the same cylinder was arcing from the pink wire to the heat insulation below. The wire had a small tear in it, wrapped with electrical tape till I can find a better way to fix it and that took care of things. Seems to have taken care of my ticking also. Hope this can help someone with similar problems.
