What cause a miss and stall in drive after spark plug change?
TavisHart
Well, let's see. You might have switched two of the plug wires, but the car would run badly all of the time.
Could be that the gap is incorrect on one of the plugs, or one of the new plugs may be bad. You could try pulling the plug wires off the plugs one by one. (with the engine running and the car in Park) There should be a significant difference in how the car runs if you pull a wire to a properly firing plug. If you pull a wire and notice NO difference, that would probably be the culprit. I'd check and/or replace that plug.
