BUY A ****ING BOOK ALREADY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN!!!


And it could be bad, or it could be fine. Knowing you Mickey, I am suspect of your testing methods.

SO i sit it next to the headers, and it arced once....

Mickey, go buy a Chilton's and Haynes books and follow the instructions therein to troubleshoot stuff. You are as wrong as you were about the damn MAF.

Oh, and maybe look in the friggin' SEARCH for something like 'check AND spark'. Start trying to use the grey goop G0D stuck between your friggin' ears.

Homie you need to speak more clearly. It's hard to understand what you are saying. If people didn't have to decode what you are posting, I bet you might get more help.

Whats that 'search' thing that you speak of?

Holding the boot next to the header isnt the best way to check it. A spark tester, or just holding the plug up against the head would be better. And, from the sound of it you need to plug wires if theyre damaged like that.

Platinum - try pissing on the battery at night - see if it arcs anywhere.
