I've been chasing an odd, random misfire. Somethings thats not super obvious until you first put your foot in it, once its past it, it starts to pull hard. Well I went through and changed the power valve in the car and took it for a ride. Helped but all of a sudden the car just acted like it was loading up and had a dead cylinder/fouled ass plug. I managed to get it home, stumped as hell. I walked inside, ate dinner. Came back out, looked at the passenger front plug and pushed it and I heard a "click"..... Apparently I didn't have the wire on completely and fouled the plug. lol. Atleast it was a stupid/easy fix.

See the car ran decent. Now that I have it hitting on all 8 consistently, it's now way out of tune. Super annoying
