I was all so planing on checking for water/dampness in the booties of the connectors at the front of the motor.
 I did (before described condition) remove the throttle body to lube the rod bearings and remove the additional butterfly's from it. I did all so adjust the throttle switch.....it could b off a bit i'll all so re check it.
 But it sure as hell isn't running on all 8 and I noticed it round the time I did the plugs and wires.

 anyone else got any thoughts?
 While at idle cold or hot the idle fluctuate's, while driving and just going through the gears she kinda backfires out the exhaust a bit.....specially while getting off the gas. When i'm on her she hesitates, kinda chugs a bit. She does go up to 6,500+ RPM while i'm stomping on her.......got to b ign.....or mayb that TPS needs another adjustment??????

Ron, it could also be the temp sensor on the front of the block. I had issues like that when some moisture got in there and corroded the terminals.

I know the wires are on rite cause I pulled one at a time and replaced with the told to me good wires. I'll pull one wire at a time and replace with my originals to make sure I don't have a bad wire or two.
