Situation...try and figure this one out You take a turn fast. Car seems to hit hard, almost as though you bottomed out. After that the car throws a misfire code. What would you check first?

plug wire resting on an a header primary...first thing I'd check at least. It could be burnt already and when you turn it binds it over to touching/grouning against the primary, shorting the spark to the plug, throwing a misfire code. Just an idea. I've found it on mine years back.

check your starter wires area all tight. On fire-up last week after the cam change I had a loose hot wire, when we turned the key it would pulse the injectors 
...I didn't see the relevance, but my buddy talked me into checking, sure enough they were a little loose, cured that problem. Not sure what or if a code was thrown though. I hate ignition gremlins.

That would make sense, cause my #8 or #6 isnt firing, and i thought possibly an injector. Ill make sure the starter is put in really well when i instal it again. I cant WAIT to get this car going again....but i ran outa money again and have to wait till next paycheck....:tear:
I replaced the plugs but they fuel fowled ( prolly ran the car for 30 seconds total on em ) so should i spend another 60 bucks on plugs or do yall think they're fine since i cleaned them out.
