98 cobra dropping cylinders

[98cammer]

I have recently started having trouble with my cobra. When the car is under a load it starts missing out. I have changed plug wires, plugs, coil packs. I have double checked everything that i can think of. I just checked the plugs the other day and the look good. I am also having a charging problem. I have a new alt and a new battery. I have checked all of the ground that i can find. this car is driving me crazy right now. I have even had it checked for codes and there are none

Have you changed the fuel filter? You be amazed at what that does to performance.

i have the same problem replaced everything you did plus the fuel filter and no luck . if you find something out please post another reply on this thread. thanks .rj

i hope that my charging problem and my missing out are related. So when I fix one it will fix the other.

I got it fixed. it was the number 2 plug wire

Good job dude. So one of your "new" wires was bad? Or was it not on good...what?

 

[98cammer]

my new wire was bad put the stock one back on and the problem was salved. I am going to call msd and see if the will do anything about it. I have had the wire on the car for a year, but i have only put 3000 miles on them

I've had friends that have used MSD, Taylor and the giant Livewires from Performance Distributors. They are all crap! Everyone has gone back to stock, including myself who used Taylors for a bit.
