I've bought spark plug wires that were bad straight out of the box, many times. Other crap too.

 

Sad thing is, you probably don't buy the cheap stuff either. I never buy the cheap stuff and I still get crap parts sometimes. That's exactly what I'm going to do a tune up with all new, and see if that doesn't fix it.

 

im not being mean, but as a standard rule i always replace the cap and rotor at the same time. my distributer was full of water recently and when i inspected the cap it looked perfect i replaced it anyway and no more problems.

 

okay guys, i figured i would update this thread... that way, if anyone else has problems like mine, and read this thread, they'll see the update/fix.... come to find out, it was a faulty plug wire on the #6 cylinder.... i changed the plug wires last night with brand new ones, and it runs like a dream now... i was so happy, that i started doing donuts in the snow in a parking lot last night... after i got done doing about 3 donuts, my ABS light came on, and now it won't go off... fix one problem, and another happens haha just so the motor isn't missing like it was, then i'm a happy camper lol

 

Check your brake fluid level

 

yea, the brake fluid is all the way to the max mark.... i was reading in my haynes manual, and it said that the speed sensor is a big part in the ABS system... and i was hoping that while i was doing donuts in the ice and snow, that i didn't mess the gear up that runs the speed sensor... and then i read that there's some kinda ABS box on the driver side frame, below the cab, that may be messed up...

 

and then again, my truck may just be pissed at me for doing donuts, and decided to try to scare me... i wonder if my truck knows that i dont care if i have ABS or not lol it probably never worked anyways haha
