(Solved):Change wire and plug now code

[Amaster]

I'm having some trouble I just got the plugs done on 5.3 and I'm getting a code for miss fire on 2 well some people have said wires so I changed the wire from the plug behind it to that plug and still have the code help

Are you getting a misfire on the same cylinder after you swapped plugs?

You checked the gap on the plugs before installing, correct?

Pull the offending plug and inspect for any damage like a crack in the insulation and proper gap. If it looks fine, swap with another cylinder and see if it follows.

If it follows, it’s likely a bum plug.

As Wade said- check the #2 plug. At least it's an easy access. What plugs and from where did you get them? Still have the boxes?

What @wjburken and @iamdub and @Geotrash said and then I see you solved it. So "What in the name of the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here"!!!!!!!!

Might want to share what solved it, "Mr. Mysterious". Afterall, people tried to help.

Umm, Since you didn't tell us what it was.......what did you screw up?

Gap was wrong and plug was tighten down to much. Took the plug out readjusted it and tightened it correctly. Code disappeared, truck runs fine!

But if you have the same code here are some things to check. Check to see how tight the plug is. loosen it and tighten it back down check the wire. That's what solved my issue.

You can go back to above the first post and add SOLVED to the thread title.

One other thing. The plug being "tightened too much" had nothing to do with it. If not tight, compression can leak past and cause a problem. Plugs have a torque rating but I have never used it. Just make sure is tight and good to go. The only thing a too tight plug can cause is either broken while installing or break off when try to remove. Or if tightened too much in an aluminum head, can pull or stretch those threads in the head.

Sorry it was probably me being an idiot not going to lie and not having a step stole to get to the plug and wire easy.
