Random & multiple missfires
I keep throwing this code. I've read that it's usually related to the distributor, but I'm thinking it's probably not. I usually get the code late at night and/or when I'm a few miles from the beach. Therefore is it likely that I've got some bad wires? My friend says it can't be timing or spark plugs.

i had same problem i put some new plugs and plug wires and its gone. i had tr55 and i guess broke some of the tips off and i didnt know it. so then i put e3 diamond fire plugs in and factory 7mm wires and no problems. i would highly reccomend e3 diamond fire plugs. you dont got to gap them and i know a few people that have powerful cars and they run them and love them. best plug in my opionion. kinda expensive, but well worth it.
