Yea my car misses, alot. I have noticed it for awhile, but havnt bveen able to fix it. Today i adjusted my timing so its perfect, but theres still the miss. I replaced the plugs 1500 miles ago, wires cap and rotor are <2500 miles old. Once in awhile i will notice that spark is jumping from the boot of the wire connected at the coil, to the frame. Im gonna have to say thats my miss, so i was plannin on getting new coils. Well now the jumping spark is nonexistent and i never changed the coils. I still have a miss thou, and cant locate it. Any help would be apreciated. My dad says its cause its an old car and thats what happens, but tahts just cause he doesnt wanna fix it

Well this is when you want to bring out the stickyy tape. I would guess taking an ignition file to the inside of the coils and maybe getting some new wires.

The wires will be cheaper. You know they are bad from the jumping spark. Just dont get them form Autozone. Or anything from autozone.

haha i like how you add in the "dont buy ANYTHING from autozone" at the end. just because jesse james promotes it with his badass cars doesn't mean you have to listen to him.

A fine misty spray of water, applied after dark with the engine running, will show all sorts of electrical things , a bad car looks like a lightning show.

Yea, i got all my stuff from circle auto, but none of its high performance or anything. In facts it probably worse than OEM.

Most definately it's the spark plug wires. Get some NGK's. They work good! BTW. I had that happen to me before but my jump went to another wire in the wiring harness and it burn a hole right through it. So, get that fixed soon.
