Re: 00 Jimmy Misfire after warmup

Yes, the CAT became clogged and I had it removed and ran a straight pipe as opposed to $800. SES light did not come on after over 500 miles of driving without converter. I replaced the MAF sensor a couple days ago and it is still doing the same thing (minus the SES light). Today I removed spark plug 6 and 4 to compare and 6 was SLIGHTLY more "burnt" than 4 but neither looked worn nor damaged. Regardless I replaced spark plug 6 with brand new. Quadruple checked the wires and pulled them further away from block as recommended to avoid the possibility of heat damage. Let it run idle for 5 minutes, drove it for 5 miles, parked it (was running a total of 23 minutes), shut it off, started it back up and let run for another 2-4 minutes and the truck started to misfire again. No SES light. Against my own personal belief I am going to replace the cap and rotor with Delco parts (Duralast on it now) since my patience has worn thin and I seem to have run out of options and advice. If (most likely when) my truck decides to act up again is there any other suggestions? Thank you again.
