Default What can cause misfires like this?

I have misfires on cylinders 2 and 6 constantly. I have monitored it with Atap at idle and all the other cylinders aren't as bad. I swapped the plug wires on them to make sure I had the coil wiring right (I messed up the wiring when I did a coil relocation, as in which plug went to which cylinder). It starts fine and sits idling fine for about 10 seconds, then I hear loud popping that isn't constant and sounds like it did when I had the coil pack wiring messed up. But it isn't constant, which leads me to believe it is only cylinders 2 and 6. The coil on #6 is new too. I don't think there is any arcing, but I could be wrong. I have them relocated with the Jay Fisher kit. Could them being too close to the fuel rail be causing a problem, could that be an arc point? Any clues what it coule be? Thanks a lot!! This is the only thing keeping my car down now.

it could be arcing of it, try and spray a mist of water around those cylinders and see if you see an arc or here it get worse.

sorry to go off subject here, but how do you like your TCS 4200?

I like the 4200, I didn't get to track test it before I installed the cam though. It's a very tight converter with the 2.7 STR.
