Nah throttles smooth as silk now. 
ISV is clean. I had gotten that code before and have cleaned it. Works as it should.
Yeah plugs are under 1k old. There the AL 103's. All gaped at 28 or 32......I forget. I have had bad experiences with the AL plugs......but there so darn cheap. Keith had told me long ago I should try the Champion plugs.....maybe I should.

Ron, throttle's not sticking at all, is it? I'd remove and clean the ISV (in
case you haven't yet). Plugs are new you said?

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??????

and sounds like she's not running on all 8 cylinders. Exhaust sounds
different, while idling it's rather lumpy and while reving she spits and
backfires a bit.
>> No codes so i'm obviously thinking ign related. I just changed spark
plugs and wires (bought from a lister who said they were good). The wires
supposed to OHM out at.....1k or was it 5k? 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.
>> The caps look good, no cracking or carbon buildup on the cap points.
Rotor tips were clean as well when I pulled the caps.
