I know its a sports car, but it is not a clutch problem, my car is miss firing very slitly and is not causing a check engine light, so the dealer is going to have to scope it.

Check your plug wires for heat damage.....

Yeah, they are well known for frying the #4 plug wire and that will cause a miss.

I took my car to the dealer, and i guess you might be right 71rr. Nothing came up on the scope test, so i kept being presistent, telling them there is something def. wrong with my car, so they check on there online Dodge service site, and typed in my vin and a explaination of my problem was found, so next Tuesday they r going to replace all 4 plugs and wires then reprogram the computer. I hope this solves the problem, i am def. happy we r getting somewhere, i will update after my visit. Thank SilverRT4

If they give you the same plug wires routed the same way, it's going to happen again. You may want to check out the "heat shield" for plug wires and the coil pack at www.modernperformance.com for $20. Either that, or invest in some MSD wires for $45 or so......

I highly recommend the MSD super conductor plug wires, because with them you get the benefit of the heat resistance as well as the huge increase in spark energy to the plugs. If you can, get both the wires and the heat shield so as to have a bullit proof ignition.

Yup, depending on how much my rental ends up costing me, I'm getting one of those shields either next week, or the following week....

I thought about it, but with the MSD's and having modified my hood scoop insert to flow more air back to the turbo, I'll pass on it.
