Any can be bad and usually price reflects quality but not always. Hey - two truths with a car. Only thing that fires the fuel (gasoline engines) is the spark plug and only things that touch the road are the tires and nothing else much matter if those two items aren't good they are the weak link. With plugs it comes right down to how lousy some are even packaged for handling before you get them, proper resistance, metal and porcelain issues and how made, one unit of metal or crimped together junk. Just plain rust resistance of the metal wrecks the whole show later if not changed Spring and Fall like wicked old days. This car calls for Delco for a reason so even if not the total issue right now it sure could be. Sample pic of poor quality if it shows.............. ^^ Pic was there if it disappears I can't help that, T

well i got it back up and running today. running much stronger but still has the slight shudder when you are driving and giving it just the right amount of gas. its not a tranny problem at all. when i run the on board it gives no e codes but does give a lot of different p codes. where can i get a list of the codes and how can i clear the p codes? certain that most of them are from it being torn apart and starting up a little rough. could it have anything to do the catylitic conveter or the smog pump?

I agree with Tom,never-ever use anything but AC Delco plugs, for some reason all the rest misfire,tried everything,every brand all misfired,I was a cadillac tech for 10 years,did mostly drivability and electrical work.
