Default I feel like an idiot.....

So as some of you may notice I have been all over the forums for the past 9 months hunting down a misfire... so about a month ago I did a visual once over of all the wires in the engine bay... I Have unplugged the MAF.. anyways the part I feel like an idiot for.

So I got my friend to look at it the other night he has some experience with the LS series he tells me from what it looks like in the past he's seen fuel injectors, coils , or spark plugs... so I went with the cheapest being spark plugs... so morale of the story... check the wires physically next time... two of my spark plug wires were barely on and my car now runs full power once again. *facepalms*

Anyways I am happy to finally have my car back to its perfect running condition again and hopefully make it to the track before summer ends.

Been there done that, it does feel nice that it was something so simple but then I pretty much slap myself for passing something so simple up.

Wasn't free two hours of labour because I had my dad's friend do it at his shop :'( I didn't have the time haven't slept in 2 days. But hey that was the spark plugs and he encountered the real problem and fixed it:p
