The problem started with a number 8 cylinder misfire so i decided to do a tune up i changed plugs, wires, cap, and rotor and when i started my truck it ran worse now it sputters and pops out of the exhaust. The original misfire code went away but now it gave me a random misfire code. If anyone has any input i would definitely appreciate it

 

have you disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes? THat should maybe help reset the ignition and fuel delivery... Which should help settle it down...

might be a "duh", but make sure you put the right wires on the right disty terminals.

 

If you bought an Autozone (or cheap) cap/rotor, take the cap back off and check to see if the carbon center button hasn't broken off and fallen down into your disty. This happened to me once because the cap was so crappy, it wouldn't seat onto the disty housing.

 

i disconnected the battery and still same thing

I already checked the wires thats what i thought at first because i tend to rush everything lol but it was right


its dark now but ill check the under the cap to see if anything is broken in the morning i did buy a cheap cap and rotor i think it was oe quality but it was from advance auto and i dont usually have good luck with them do you think a cheap cap and rotor would cause a problem?

 

Yeah, it sounds to me like you have a couple plug wires crossed.

 

another quick thought...

Did you unplug any sensors around the TB when you changed the wires and cap?

 

try this, the other day i put headers on and it was doin as you are describing, even threw injector and torque convertor codes....did this and everythings fine.......#8 is the main concern it seems

Thanks for the help i found the problem the first time i put the cap on it must not have been on straight so the rotor was hitting the contactors and it bent the tip of it so it was not firing the right cylinder at the right time as soon as i saw that i felt like a retard for it being so simple

 

Who made the cap so I know to stay away from it?
