Hi Tom,
One of two things cured this problem on my '98. First there was a TSB on
re-routing the plug wires in an attempt to give them more separation so the
spark pulse wouldn't jump from one wire to another. Second, I had scorched the
cover on one of my brand new magnecore wires and I replaced that when I had the
TSB done.
One of these efforts cured the occasional high-speed mis I was having. I know
you said your wires are new but I'd give them a good look for any problems
anyway.
Good luck.
Tom

I asked this question under a different thread and did not get too many
answers so here it goes again..........93 Dakota 5.2 with 60,000 miles, MP
Computer, MP Camshaft, Gibson Exhaust, Thorley Headers, Jacobs Ignition, K &
N Open element 14" Aircleaner..i'm sure there are more mods, those are the
only ones coming to mind now, but every once in a while, it starts to miss,
check engine light comes on, sound as though it is not running on all 8
cylinders so I will stop, and turn it off and then it is OK for another week,
or month, or maybe hour? The plug wires are new and so are plugs. I try to
check for codes and when I turn it off to check them, truck is fine and
registers no codes? It sometimes does it in a wide array of conditions, when
it wet out, dry out, it does not matter....seems to have no pattern! Anyone
have any ideas?
Thanks
Tom
