Default 01 SS Camaro replaced ignition coils

What's up guys I got a 01 SS Camaro that was misfiring because of the passenger side ignition coils but I replaced all of them to make sure it would work like she used to. After I replaced all the coils she felt alot more better but when I turned on the SES light was blinking and it would hesitate a little bit but not as bad as it used. Can anybody help me out.

First look for the code. Might be bad spark plug cable or spark plug...

Blinking means you are causing harm to the cats, most likely still a miss. Need to scan the codes and double check everything you just did. Might of missed fully seating a connection or plug wire, could be a super fouled out plug too, did you pull your plugs? Also seen where the the harness for the coils goes bad.

As stated, the blinking SES light is misfiring. Depending on the problem a code isn't always set for misfiring, but know there is a problem.

These coils are robust and not common to fail. Check the plugs of course, change out your plug wires is always good maintenance.

Less likely are the coils themselves and the coil wiring harness.

Sounds like you are just part swapping... I would do it the right way and run codes and determine what cylinder is misfiring and focus on that one. I sure wouldn't have changed out coils on a guess. Maybe plugs and wires if they had a substantial amount of miles on them. Good luck in your guessing.
