I fixed my car, pics and explanation inside!
I fixed my car, pics and explanation inside! I fixed and found the problem. All the plugs on my drivers side were blackened and fouled. All the plugs on my passenger side were perfect, still looked almost new. I changed them all anyways, and while I was taking off the coil pack on the passenger side (its 100000x easier if you do this) I noticed the big white plug for it had came undone and almost barely in there, but it was plugged in enough to make them fire intermittently. Now, I know the bad plugs were on the opposite side BUT this mirrors something that had happened back in my LT1 days. Back when I put LT's on my 95, I burnt through a plug wire and didnt know it. The 95 started running like dookie, and I looked under the hood for a lightshow. To my suprise one of the primaries on my passenger side were glowing! They were Jet Hot coated too, and man it takes a LOT to make them glow! While poking around, checking wires, I found the plug wire directly OPPOSITE on the drivers side had been burned through, only I couldnt see it because I had those damn DEI heat sleeves. Hella good those did. Anyways, I replaced the plug wire, and the car was like new again, and the primary on the other side stopped glowing. Never had another problem with the car.
On a side note, I fired the car up, let her run for a few minutes, and then pulled her out of the garage. As I was pulling out of the sub my check engine light came on and I thought "oh damn now what" and it was 0135 I think, which turned out to be an oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction. I've gotten that a few times since I put the headers on, it ran fine so I just erased the code. I'm happy again. Thanks everyone for your help!!

So how does it run now that it's firing on all 8?

Congrats !!! and thank you for posting results. A lot of time poeple ask about their problem, but fail to post feedback after a fix. This way we are able to update our teck. knowledge and eliminate bad deductions.
