Check engine light on after changing plug wires

[95escahoe]

So my truck (04 Esky 6.0) has ran a lil rough at idle so figured I'd do the plugs and wires, and put on the OEM spark plug wire shields since I was missing them, so last night pulled the wires put the new wires and shields on and it still runs a lil rough at idle and the check engine light came on and stays on, as soon as you go it runs mint and has no issues starts up fine too, still getting 14.6 on the highway, 10ish in the city, cleaned the MAF and TB too, so gonna check the codes after work and see what I find, sounds like a plug or coil issue? Gonna do the plugs too since it's all apart

depending on what the codes are depends on what might be wrong. Pull those first and see.

Finish doing the plugs and pull the negative battery cable for 10 mins. If the code comes back then I'd see what it says

Whoever had it before me put Autolite wires on it who knows what kinda plugs they used and if they even did them, and some of the wires were cracked

Buy a 1" or 1.5" socket extension. Made #8 easy. I had a harder time with #1 and I've had three 4th gen f-bodies.

Maybe I'll try that, the rest were easy took me around 40mins, I can get the plug out I think it's just a pain in the butt getting it back in, go to this shop a lot so they should give me a good deal
