well here we go

cyl 5 misfire is the code, car shakin and sputterin is the problem

pulled the spark plug to check for cracks spark plug looks clean but is white on the tip(could be just from the misfire)

replaced all wires yesterday still actin up

removed wire and put close to the coil pack to create a arc and it did so i guess the coilpack is workin

what ya think?

i would almost say it was the injectors but there really is no way for me to get under that intake manifold to test it....

man i need to get a new car...

Did you at least replace that plug?

personally, I could play "bones" from star trek and say "It's dead, Jim"

well i guess ill try that out...

i added some seafoam to the gas tank to see if maybe it was just a clogged injector
and it runs a "tad" better now it actually holds a idle woot!

so im leanin more to it being a bad injector...

plugs are almost brand new i say maybe 12k on them (plats)
