The freakin thing was spazzin lol.. I'll figure it out by noon..

If the use of MSD or some other make raises the voltage, you may just get into even more problems.
Basicly I am saying that if there is a problem at the plugs, the hi voltage generated by coil isn't dissapating accross the spark gap as it should.
Since the voltage has to go somewhere it can make the coil distroy it'self internally as well as the boots and even reflect back to the PCM upsetting it's processing, that can cause other symtoms and reactions..
This is the basis of not swapping coils to find problems since the problem can distroy the coil put in place for testing.
Sorting it out is a bitch sometimes.
Good luck.

My Luck has not been good lately with the truck. I had a hole in the dip stick tube half way up by the manifold that I did not notice for a long period of time. I'm not sure if I damaged the motor yet - I'll check the compression tomorrow on that.
I ground my self out on the fire wall - fireworks!! Well , a large spark anyway . I could have PCM Damage now
I've been working under the dash - the cabs gutted- down to the metal (except the dash and one seat.) - I 'm rewiring and cleaning all the grounds I find..Reason - I looked under the dash and found many connectors corroded up pretty good ..

HI!... One of my favorite classic Canadian movies is STRANGE BREW. "WHO PUT THE CIG IN MY BEER, EH?" LOL!
I luv when you yanks come over here to windsor from the states and start drinking at our bars. "I CAN DRINK 10 BEERS NO PROBLEM" says the yank. Ya mabey 10 **** water yank beers. They drink 5 of our 5.5 - 6.5% alcohol beers and fall down passed out. I laugh everytime I see it. Which is just about every weekend.

best wiskey ive had other then some jack daniels is crown royal, i just finshed a big *** bottle of that the other day, as far as beer goes i found that the cheaper bush beer so far has a better taste than the major brands.
