Spark Plugs But no i think theres a misfire its really bad...i need help

[Kidlex01]

hey i just changed my spark plugs finally it was very simple but i have a serious problem i think the car might be misfiring but no lights or anything come on but the problem only seems to occur when the car is idling or if im stopped at a red light, the car kinda putters like it is going to stall but it just keeps running but in the car you can feel the engine shake a bit and if your outside you can hear a clicking sound when ever it happens, could i have done somthing wrong is it possible the coils are lined up properly, if someone could answer this asap i need to know right away email at [email protected] or add me if you have msn or aol or aim add me my SN is kidlex01 i would really appreciate it, i have a 2001 grand am se 2.4l ...

also when i was changing them and was putting back on the four black rubber pieces that connect the plugs to the igniton module is there a certain position there supposed to be on are the soft rubber pieces supposed to be down as far as possible and the hard rubber piece higher up or should the tabs be touching each other....

the plugs i got were the NGK iridium iv there the right model for my GA my grandpa said it might be the timing or the gapping but the plugs are pre gapped and they say not to regap them

Those NGK Iridium IV's aren't meant for the 2.4, kidlex. They run ok in the 3.4, but they run way too cold for your engine. I can almost guarantee you those plugs are causing the misfiring. Regapping them won't help. My advice - buy a stock set and put them in, and your problems should be resolved.

by the way, you don't need duplicate threads.

hey ridenour i didnt wanna post to of the same thread i wanted to change the subject and add more things, my fault also i made a mistake in the type of plugs i bought there actually the NGK iridium IX's also i think the four rubber pieces one of the coils wasnt aligned properly do you think that could of been the cause for the putt putt and shake... im super pissed but glad at the same time i put the old plugs back in and the car works fine, but when i went to go and reinstall the new plugs again i took the cover off and put the 4 rubber pieces back and got the cover on and got the coils aligned and when i went to start my car it owuldnt start i did that twice then when i was finished puittin the old plugs back in i realized i forgot to plug in the plug you have to remove that sits on the right hand side, so shit. but what do you think cause my car works now and the coils are aligned i think it was the last one on the right that wasnt connected, and it is connected now and there is no problem witht he old plugs when its running but i would like to have the NGK's that i bought in the car, you think its worth trying again or could it be somthin else that was causing the shake and etc...
