problem fixed
motor runs much better..
thanks for the info...

Nathan...
the tips on 2 sets of NGK's( where the boots connect as 1slowz71 stated above) that I have bought would vibrate loose, and it would start running rough, so to try and fix the problem I put some lock tite on the threads that the tips screw onto..
well apparently I put tomuch lock tite and it was impeeding the spark.. changed the resistance, and so it would spark just not spark enough causing it to simulate a dead cylinder..
well I had 3 of these that had lock tite on them, so you can imagine what 3 cylinders running on half spark would feel like very noticeable...

thanks again guys for the input.
Daniel

I had never thought about putting loc-tite on there. I was having that same issue with my 04 and just kept going back in every few days and tightening them up. That got old real quick.
