wow, i feel like an idiot. figured out the high RPM miss problem
after changing the plug wires and coil, i figured i might as well change the plugs because the next thing was the opti. I started with the passenger side first because it is the hardest. took of the altenator, pulled plug 2, it looked fine the gap was a little off. 4 was the same. 6 looked a little ashy. ...and then 8. most fouled out plug i've seen in my life

drivers side all looked good except the gap was a little off on a couple. put new plugs in and vwala, miss is gone and it pulls super hard.
EDIT : Friend with '94 LT1 caprice on friend's name.

yeah, pretty much. I didn't want to believe it was the plugs cuz i changed them not more than 5 months ago.

fixed that little typo. but yea, after i changed the plug wires my low rpm miss seemed to stop, but up high in the band it was still hesitating/cutting out. but it feels like it used to now that it is running like it should. i'm wondering if the PCV could have had something to do with this?

like shoebox said, its prolly the plugwire that made the plug go bad, pcv wouldnt cause a plug to foul out unless it was blowing oil into the cylinder
