Too many problems

Hi everyone, I am having a few problems with the car again. First off what is absolutly funny is that my right turn signal doesn't work. The left one does and the right one doesn't...I dont even use the turn signals that often and it doesnt work So I was wondering if someone could help me with that. Also I am having a misfire under low rpms...in all gears. I have bosch split fire plugs, ACCEL wires...I didnt put the plugs and wires on at the same time...but they are all one there as of right now. I say its those crappy spark plugs but who knows. I was also wondering what wires everyone was running with there Hooker LT's...I'm just going to get the Taylor OVC from Thunderracing.com. Oh yeah...Also while the car is isling in the morning and sometimes while it's hot...the idle is rough...it goes down to like 500 and throttle response is very crappy. Told ya I have problems! Thanks for the help!

Your turn signal probably doesn't work because you have a bulb burned out. Put your hazard flashers on and see if one isn't flashing. For your idle problems, I would go back to factory spark plugs. The ignition system on these engines can be tempermental. Good Luck.

Hey...actually I do have a bulb thats burnt out but I didn't think that was it because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I check the turn relay and all that jive underneath...but found no problems. Yes I do have to go back to stock plugs!! Thanks!!

For your turn signal, try changing the bulbs to see whats wrong. Then check with a voltmeter and go from there. I had a ground wire failing, had no blinker and no brake lamps for about a year untli i finally found it out.
As for your miss:

FOR GOD'S SAKE, pleaseeee don't use AC platinum plugs, guys!!!

I had plat's in for 5000 miles or even less and 5 of 8 were missing the plat tips! Their complete junk, a piece of s***t... We've done some research on that, and discovered people who had plat tips missing after a week!! The WORST thing about this: I wonder where those not-so-tiny plat tips go, for f**ck's sake?! Use any copper plugs, excluding Bosch, and change them every 20.000 miles or so. BTW, I can do the plugs change in about 3 hours with my fat, hairy king-kong like arms.
