    I have recently started having trouble with my cobra. When the car is under a load it starts missing out. I have changed plug wires, plugs, coil packs. I have double checked everything that i can think of. I just checked the plugs the other day and the look good. I am also having a charging problem. I have a new alt and a new battery. I have checked all of the ground that i can find. this car is driving me crazy right now. I have even had it checked for codes and there are none :bang:

    Have you changed the fuel filter? You be amazed at what that does to performance.

    i hope that my charging problem and my missing out are related. So when I fix one it will fix the other.

    my new wire was bad put the stock one back on and the problem was salved. I am going to call msd and see if the will do anything about it. I have had the wire on the car for a year, but i have only put 3000 miles on them

    I've had friends that have used MSD, Taylor and the giant Livewires from Performance Distributors. They are all crap! Everyone has gone back to stock, including myself who used Taylors for a bit.
