What would you do in my place? I'm having a small problem with the car. I recently installed a cam and then immediately did a coil pack relocation. I'm having misfires on two cylinders, but I don't believe it is because of the cam install. I think it has to do with the coil pack relocation. I can crank the car, it will idle great for about 10-15 seconds, then I will hear popping that gets louder. It sounds the same as it did when I had all the coil wires messed up after relocating the coils. As far as I can tell, the wires are all fine now, but #2 and #6 are misfiring almost constantly as far as I can tell. Here are a few things to note:
#2 coil is brand new
I'm using the Jay Fisher kit and his wires
the pack is very close to the passenger side fuel rail
Thats all I can think of. I've tried everything I know to do. Anyone have any ideas? I'm open to anything. Thanks a lot!

Re: What would you do in my place? you've got the coil wires reversed
all you need to do is swap the connectors cyl 8 to cyl 2 and cyl 4 to cyl 6 i did it the first time too

Re: What would you do in my place? Dude, just double check the wires to the coils.
You should be back up and running ASAP.
Dont dwell on it... just go back over it with a fine tooth comb.
Good luck

Re: What would you do in my place? I think I finally got it working fine. I can't explain it, I'm sure we tried what ended up fixing it. It was just like the first guy said. I feel like a moron now, but I know I tried it like that. Anyway, it misfired a lot to begin with, I'm guessing from a lot of unburnt fuel, but once it setlled into the idle, everything was great and it idled fine until it warmed up. I shut it off then, I have to put the coils back up on the cowl, lower the TB idle screw, and play with Edit some. Thanks everyone!
