a lot of times when someone changes the plugs, they get codes for miss fires, this is most likely the wiring harness because with age they don't hold together. try the different part hope it works

I went back to the junkyard and tried out the one they had. same results. so I'm back to the drawing board. I'll recheck all the wires tomorrow and replace the one coil that I know is going bad.

Fixed!!!! Whoever the big dummy is that worked on the thing last (I won't name names, hehe) switched the two plugs around. Well anyway, I got a new set of plugs and wires installed, a new coil, cleaned the MAF thingie and the throttle plates. So now I shouldn't have to mess with anything, at least for a little while.

The black 4? wire plugs that plug into the air intake between the MAF and the throttle body, one is the idle air control and the other one plugs in right next to the throttle body, they are both the same and I didn't think they were so I didn't bother checking them until this last time I tried to fix it.

The wife is pretty happy I found it too. I was walking around in a really pissy mood for a few days trying to figure out what the heck could go bad so fast. I walked in the door after I fixed it and told her some dumbass had the connectors mixed up and all she did was shake her head and laugh.
The other plug must be the throttle position sensor.

bad left hand not watching what the right hand was doing, it needs to be slapped with a ruler, oboy do I remember having my hand slapped with a rule in the 2nd grade by my teacher, and yes they did way back when, Everet might have had 1 or 2 back then, how about it Everet?
