I'm here at Bretons Speed Shop in Scottsdale listening to my lovely back fire
After getting her read the code comes up multiple misfire:rant2:
Checked the intake, plugs, fuses and can't seem to find out the problem. It's running rich for sure as I do know this ---
Any help would get me back on the road:worship:

plug wires, connectors for the MAF, EVAP, MAP etc.
seems like number 8 cylinder is misfiring more frequently ---
sorry --- a lean misfire not rich

Either run a compression test, or pump air into each cylinder and see if they leak (not good).
What were you doing prior to the failure?

Also check the fuel injector for that cylinder, the wiring to it, etc. A quick test there would be to swap the injector with another and see if it follows.

ah...going fast? ---memory on the diognostic pad said 132 @ 3,300 rpms
whoa!! Friggin panicked ---
cylinder 7 & 8 (plugs were toast) throwing off the sensors by saying lean/rich (checked everywhere; fuses, intake, charger, evap, map etc. and came down to those plugs) coincidentally 7 & 8. My lovely was choking and spitting and kept coming up on a misfiring but initially it read multiple misfires:rant2:
Put two new plugs in and BAM!! Sang like she can...
Burnt # 8? Has anyone had that happen where they literally burnt the tip section:crybaby:
Anyways --- thanks guys for the walk through!!!:worship:

How much boost are you running? Stock plugs and gap?
