Ok, now before I hear about check the search I have.

Currently my car is down, it wont accelerate above 2000 RPM's without poping, only 2 months ago exactly it did the same thing and I had the #6 plug & wire replaced, I've maybe put 1,000 miles on since.

My mechanic hopefuly gets to it within the next day, but he says he re placed the heat shield and wire cover, I printed out the thing Gig wrote about the "misfire" but it's trying to refer this info to my dad & mechanic. My dad is insistant that I got a bad wire and that they way it came from the factory is correct and this is a freek occurance.

I'm not dealing with this a third time, I called GM and the guy was trying to tell me that something must be wrong with my pistons

 

Yes...there was a recall. I'm not sure what years it covered, but there was a recall on the spark plug wires.

I know my 1996 was covered a few years back...I can't recall the details though.

Maybe someone else is good enough to bring up the recall #. I do know that there was one though for a common misfire.
