My pickup (5.3L) is misfiring on every single cylinder after new plugs + wires? Ok, here's the dig:
I put some Bosch +4 plugs in about a week ago, everything was peachy, and fine.
On Monday I put some Taylor plug wires on, and it ran ok for awhile, then it started acting flaky ... then all of a sudden my SES light comes on, so I take it to the dealer today ...
And they said the computer told them it was misfiring on every single cylinder?!?
I mean WTF did I do wrong here, is that a defective wire? Do they not like the plugs? I mean it's pretty hard to screw up putting a plug wire on, did I not use enough boot protector or something?
Has anyone ahd this happen to them before?
Help! Thanks <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: My pickup (5.3L) is misfiring on every single cylinder after new plugs + wires? Put the stock wires on. If they work fine, take one off and put a new wire in it's place. See what happens. You could do all of them like that.

Re: My pickup (5.3L) is misfiring on every single cylinder after new plugs + wires? I put a little bit more boot protector on and made sure they were all snapped in. So far so good.
If the SES light comes back on, I will put the stock wires back on immediatley ..
