Cars missing & #5 plug is wet
I have just recently put 24lb venom injectors in my 91 TPI 350 TA to replace my factory injectors and the car ran great for about three or four days...
Then i noticed that my car had a miss to it so i started looking into my problem and realized the #5 plug was wet with gas...
i replaced the plug a couple of times and everytime i pulled it out it was wet...I used a couple old plug wires that wasnt the problem...the injectors ohmed out fine...i lowered the fp it wasnt the problem..
the cap and rotor is new the ICM is new the injectors are maybe two weeks old but i have a feeling that the #5 injector is maybe getting stuck open during its cycle and soaking the plug..
Can i get your guys opinion on what the problem is thanks..

Re: Cars missing & #5 plug is wet
I would suggest putting BRAND NEW plugs and wires in, and going one heat range "hotter" on the spark plugs, and get some good ones. You didn't specify if you plug wires were new or not, but they can sometimes look like they are in good shape, when actually they are shot, they are cheap enough that good ones are well worth it.

Re: Cars missing & #5 plug is wet
I had a similar problem recently. Is it the #5 cylinder that has the miss? On my car I isolated the miss to cyl. #2, the plug was wet with gas, changed the plug, no change. Stuck an old plug in the wire (cyl. #2) to check for spark, good spark. Ended up being a broken rocker arm stud, intake valve side. Also, I recently changed plug wires after opening the hood with the engine running on a dark morning. At least one wire was shorting to the block. While changing the wires, the one arcing and sparking practically fell apart when I gave it a tug. Then, while ohming the old wires (except the broken one...), 6 of them were ~1700 ohms, but one was 9000+ ohms. So, you have to make sure to check all of the wires.
