you need to get somebody to delete the code your throwing. This is weird that it was fine for 4k miles and now its doing this. I was thinking maybe a cracked plug at first but it would happen way before 4k miles. did you gap your plugs?

I had them installed by a Fbody guru so i am sure if they should have been they would have been. I didnt think they needed to be.

I cleared the codes via the pcm fuse pull prosudure.

Sounds like it could be a spark plug , loose ground , or maybe one of the spark plug wires not on the coil packs good or on the spark plug good .
