Awhile ago, my car was misfiring, and I thought that I had cured
it by putting dielectric grease on the plug wires? Well, it's
baaaack. After letting my car sit in the wet snow for a day, I
drove it today, and it was missing at around 2,500rpm under load.
Also, the idle seemed a little shakey. Playing with the plug wires
seemed to cure the miss, but, oddly enough, squirting water on
the ignition system when the car was running didn't cause it
to stall out. The wires were replaced in Dec. 2002 by the previous
owner, and they are the kind with the huge metal ends. Could
the wires or plugs still be at fault? The plugs are around
12,000mi. old, but I cleaned them recently, and they looked all ok.
