they will have clean terminal with no build up or crusty looks on them.

could the odor coming from the exhaust help with the diagnosis or is it just something normal when you have a misfire

 

[SunlitComet]

if you smell raw gas then that is because of the misfiring. I can't make this more clear you need to find a shop that that can read misfire history so they or you have a starting point at which cylinders are screwed up. once you have a starting point you will be in a much better position to diagnose a the problem.

Trust me I am taking your advise and trying to get a read on the misfire history but have had no luck finding smeone with a scanner that can do it...affriad im going to have to take it to a dealer

just call and ask any shop that says the do check engine lights and just ask " can you see the cylinder misfire history and possibly do a injector balance test" any shop with a snap-on or OTC scanner can do those tasks. those scanners are everywhere.

What should the ohms be reading on my plug wires...I set the meter to 20K and all my readings where below 1.0....I was getting 0.05 up to 0.80 on my wires

havent had much time or money to mess with the hoe lately so tonight i decided to see what i could do with supplies I had on hand. Soo I took my spark tester and tested everything I could and found out that #8 on the dizzy is not firing. After this small victory I took the EGR off and cleaned it with carb cleaner. Afetr doing these two things I now no longer have a P0300 code. I now have a P0308 which will be gone once I get my new dizzy rotor and wires.

Thanks to everyone for all the help.
