Ah, that was it. I knew Bernd would stumble onto it. You said yesterday
that you gapped your 3923's at .045. Stock gap is .040. If you have a
42,000+ volt coil then a gap of .045 or even .050 would work but since this
is an incorrect coil for your truck I can see why there's problems. You
won't get rid of the problem by just disconnecting that coil and going back
to stock. You'll need to re-gap to the stock gap until you can get the
correct coil. I think once you re-gap you'll find your miss.
Good luck,

It's available...but not from Autotap...yet.
http://www.obd-2.com has the cable setup ($135) for a laptop or you can buy
a Actron OBD-II Scanner ($250). I have both and like them both.
As for the miss, ya got me for now. Sorry...
Did you check all the other sensors to make sure you didn't accidentally
knock one loose? What about the plugs...did you change/re-gap them?

OK, here's what I've done. I'm at a total loss at
this point. I removed the Accel coil from the loop
and went back to the stock coil. No change. I
bypassed the MSD box (courtesy of the universal wiring
harness) and tried it again. A little better, but the
roughness is still there. I pulled each wired and
made sure that it was well seated and that there was a
click when it clipped over the plug. No change. I
pulled each wire off the distributor cap and snapped
it back on. No change. I pulled the distributor cap
off and checked to make sure the rotor was fully
seated and that no damage had been done to the cap or
the rotor. Seemed fine put it back together and get
the same results. I plugged the MSD box back in and
it just seems worse. It's like it just amplifies the
stutter/stumble/miss. I would kill for a scan tool to
see if I am getting misfires and on what plug. I have
AutoTap for my Pontiac, and it tells you all of this
stuff. Of course it isn't available for Mopars yet
:-(
Any more thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
