Ran my Olds up and down the street yesterday ran great. Then went ot drop it off for my Son. Darn thing started sputtering. and missing. Could it be a worn spark plug wire. Have replaced injectors, ECM. Checked for spark with care running do not want to do that again. Just did one wire. Pretty Shocking experience. Help Dan

Have you checked the fuel pressure?

Yes, when I replaced the fuel injectors had a lot of pressue, How would I check it. I was thinking spark plug wires, or oxygen sensor? Any other suggestions. Thanks, Dan

Does it do it all the time? Or only when the engine is hot. How old are your sparkplugs wires? How do your sparkplug tips look?

Did you get shocked because of my suggestion? Ouch, cars produce a pretty good shock! There are ways that dont shock you though...

Make sure none of the wires are loose, crossing each other, etc.... High voltage can be a bitch!

It only sputters when it is hot I was driving it when it happened. My Son also informed me that it did the same thing. Also I believe they are the orginal spark plug wire. Thanks Dan

original plug wires from 1988? Change 'em and be done with it. Most likely solution to your problem!

Especially if you got a "charge" out of the spark testing experience Sounds like the wires may be bleeding voltage and arcing to ground, which would definetly be more noticeable when warm.
