Popping/Backfire?

I have a slight miss. I believe I have a messed bad plug. It seems to be on the drivers side. Whenever I'm under load in a high gear sometimes I get this loud pop/cracking noise from the driver side of the car. Am I having a bad miss fire there? Or perhaps wires?

could be or have you gotten your distributor wet lately? maybe hit a big water hole or a leaking water pump or washed your motor?

Have you checked your plug wires and all the obvious stuff?

You have bad wires, plugs or both.

I has to be my plugs. It' take sooooooo long for the car to start now. I just got a new opti put in yesterday. The hesitation is much worse not then earlier. NGK's? Which do I need?


I took it over to the shop. I have a plug wire that is rubbing the pulley and belt. I assume it's arcing really bad. I think I have 2 or more that at like this.

I tried rerouting the wires. It just made my miss worse.
