Well, if its not backfiring then I dont think thats your problem. Mine was backfiring bad so I turned it off and then thought.. hhmmm, wonder if the harness is backwards. And sure enough it was and it purred like a cammed beast!
So your saying you get "missfire" on all 8 cylinders?
I know on my 04 Z71 I had a bad O2 sensor on one side wich caused the motor/truck to sputter and shake. Technically, it was sensing lean so it would throw alot of gas in that side of the motor. Had it scanned it said "misfire".. Just a thought.
