I need help please! might be electrical problem. Hello lsx nation.
I need a help please . I have an 01 Camaro ss, two weeks ago I changed the spark plugs and wires. I went with MSD super conductor and NGK Iridium IX part #7397 & I gapped them on 0.055. Ever since I put the new ones the car been running and idle very roughly. I double checked the wires and spark plugs and everything seems fine! I went to a local garage and the mechanic told me that the sparks and wires are fine, even the coils too! and I’m having a multiple misfire and the car is running on V6! I don’t really know what is going on. I need help, what should I do?

#1, make sure you have the wires really snapped on to their connectors on BOTH ends. #2, make sure the wires are on the right plugs. If it's all tight, and in the right spot, then start checking for wires that aren't put together right. Are you sure you didn't crack a plug putting them in?

generally speaking iridium plugs are pre-gapped and shouldn't be messed with, I would bet this to be your issue unless one of the already mentioned.

What do you mean its running on V6.....? Do you mean only 6 cylinders are firing...? ((How do you know this...?))
A very common issue after someone changes plugs and/or wires....they install the spark plug wires and let them touch the metal exhaust manifold piping........that will cause misfires. make sure they are not touching anything at all.....

Is your service engine light blinking, that indicates multiple misfire. If the service engine light is solid there may be a code stored that will indicate which cylinders are misfiring. In either case, have you had the codes read?
When most people change the plugs on the 01-02 cars they remove a couple bolts on the coil pack rail to move it out of the way just a bit.
So are all of the connection into the coils good? Not the spark plug wire connections from the plug to the coil, the other input electric connections into the coil. Perhaps one or two were unplugged and not reconnected or buggered up some how.
Recheck the work again.

And yes the light is on, solid and blinking. The wires are connected well. I'm assuming the problem is because I gapped the ngk's iridium sparks which I have?
I will be probably getting new ones and we'll see how it goes.
