If you pull out the plug wire from the head, I would change the wires
completely now. I ran in to the same problem with the Tracker. A gorilla
hand pulling out he plug wires and the same result. I had to replace them
all, since no one sells just one wire.

Subject: DML: Some performance questions
I need some professional advice please.
I just replaced my thermostat with 180 degree model and the OE plugs with
Autolite 3923's. I also reset the ECU. I also pulled one of the plugwires
out of its plug connector.
I think that the plugwire I screwed wasn't satisfied with my repair attempt.
Because now after about 15 miles I have a noticable shake in the engine at
idle and the "Check Engine" light has come on. Is there anyway to tell if
that plugwire is the problem? This is a 98 5.2L Auto 2WD DAK.
I'll try to re-repair the plugwire and then how do I kill the check engine
light?
As an aside - what is the recommended gasoline to use, brand and octane
rating?
Thanks for your help.
