Stumble-Fart

My 96 GTS has deveoped these symptoms. Mainly when shifting from 4th to 5th
in the lower part of the power band the car will stumble then I call it
fart. I don' t get any codes yet I don't know if this has anything to do
with it but last week when I started it up it missed badly and the cel
started blinking, so I shut her down for a minute then restarted and all was
good. I got the code pulled and it indicated a miss on the cylinder
passenger side closest to the fire wall. well I snugged up the wire and all
seem fine. She also will occaisional exibit these symptoms when downshifting
going aroud a corner then accelerating slowly out of the lower part of the
power band. I think I've heard it called "Tip in".
It runs like a broke dick dog when stomped on. any Ideas?
plugs are splitfires about 30k miles on em
wires are FRPP 7mm 6 months old

Similar to what I was experiencing. Pull the wire for cylinder 8 (the one
you described I believe is cylinder 8) and check the resistance on it with
an ohmmeter. Also, check gap of spark plugs.

Make sure that wire is good, swap it with a good cylinder wire.
Also, don't waste money on splitfires.
