Sounds like bad spark plug wires to me. The voltage will take the path of least resistance. If the core has broken down the voltage will arc too the nearest source of ground rather than to the center electrode of the spark plug. This happens more often under higher humidity conditions.

yes they r in the right firing order checked that cause its running like a 6 cyl duh? lol no power and should be about 400HP with the specs on the motor. I live in northern NJ and it hasnt been too humid or hot for that matter and asd I said new wires but Ill replace them and see if that works if anyone is open today at this time I dont know thnkjs Dude.

Most auto parts stores will have the equipment to test the plug wires for you before you make the investment in another set.
