Maybe bad plug wires from the get go. I know of someone that had the FMS wires and they failed out of the box. He got Megnecore's and was good to go. http://www.apexperformance.net/cartgenie/prodInfo.asp?pid=627&cid=10

I just put in both a new set of Magnecors and a set of Autolite double plats. No troubles here. I hope you get this figured out. Good luck.

They can act up anytime. If you have any spare wires even stock throw those on and see what happens.

I'll try that later when I get home.. I have 2 extra sets of stock wires laying around - guess its worth a try.

aww man, i thought u said u had 2 sets of wires which is why i was asking..
anywho I changed my plugs again today, the missfire was still there but it was a lot better, bucking was happening at 2K even..only one buck, then normal...so it has to be my wires?
also I've had my code on for the downstream O2's cause of my headers, its been on for 2 months now so I was wondering, that wouldnt spark somthing like bad air-fuel mix causing my car to miss-fire? Im gettin MIL's soon..
