About a week ago my 97 gt started to misfire triggering a check engine light. Autozone read the code and said it was a cylinder 6 misfire. So I changed the sparkplugs. A few days later it started it again. But this time the code was multiple misfires, so I installed new plugwires. It ran fine for about five miles then the misfire came back. Also when I changed the wires today I noticed some coolant in some of the cylinders. Does anybody know whats going on? Im all out of ideas. By the way the car is completely stock.

Thanks, Jason

check for a crack in your intake. The coolant leak could be causing the misfires.

Will the PI intake fit non-PI heads?
