champion or NGK, both good

 

So are periods and comma's.

 

HAHAHAHA he has about 20 periods, but in all the wrong places.

 

Never knew that periods and comma's made a difference when asking a question.Hahaha just a little habit I got into when playing crib on the net. I like to thank you for all your helpful information , if this problem isn't fixed by weeks end , then the scrap yard will be her last destination.

 

"Never knew that periods and comma's made a difference when asking a question."

Make's a difference to the person trying to read it.

BTW, maybe you should tell us what the problem is you are having.

What is the problem?

 

1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 , 5.2 Around town shes great on the highway about 50 or 60 kms into the trip she'll lose power...start popping noise from carb area then missing on more than one cylinder got her back too the garage not long after she did this they ran a code check. It was missing on 3 cylinders the truck code says code 43.This problem started about 2 weeks ago since then I have replaced,plugs,wires,ignition coil , crank sensor and cam sensor,dist and rotor , but it continues the same at about 50 kilometers into trip , already spent alot of money on parts , computer checks and mech/garage time did a wire test from coil to computer thats fine.Going re-route plug wires tomorrow , the garage mech is now telling me the truck computer is finish and too replace it , Don't understand how come this problem is so hard to find and fix.

 

i pinged really bad with NGK iridium IX plugs, changed to the autolights 3923 and its running like a beast ! !

 

Have the cat tested.
