Missfire??? Help Car was working fine just wanted to adjust the RR to 3/4 of a turn instead of 1/2 a turn. On that same day i fired it up and the car misfires CYL # 5,6 and 8. I rechecked Inj connections didnt take of any Plug wires. What in the HELL did i forget to connect or what could it be.

What prompted you to change the preload? 1/2 turn should be fine, that's what I am running. Did it misfire immediately after readjusting the rockers, or later in the day? What codes are you getting?
A spontaneous misfire on three different cylinders happening after adjusting your rockers leads me to suspect your adjustment as the culprit. If it was just a random ignition problem, it would be either one cylinder misfiring or all.

it started doing it as soon as i turned it on. I was already looking into buying a opti but it is fairly new and only has about 5000 miles on it GM. i say on opti because i had a similar problem and ended up being the opti. should i just try readjusting again!!!! getting kinda frustrated now feel like burning the car.
