However a search didnt return what im specifically looking for
My car (2003 GT, stock motor) has been misfiring slightly at idle for as long as i can remember, however I thought it was just a normal rough idle.
I changed my original plugs the other day... they had 19,200 miles on them. i figured new autolite double platinums would help the idle a bit. When I took the old plugs out, they ALL were DRIPPING with oil. The tips were not soaked, but the thread and midsection of the plugs were drenched. There was NO oil in the plug holes (which is strange), and the boot was completely dry.
I changed out the plugs, and Im going to check for oil next week. Could the oil be coming from the motor, since the tips of the plugs arent wet? How could oil be on the plugs if the holes are dry and the tips are dry? The boot would be wet if the oil was leaking into the holes, no?
So the new plugs go in, and the misfire is still there at idle. Car has no balls-
I figure the predator tune is screwing something up, so I uninstall it and return to the stock tune. The car PULLS HARDER without the predator tune, but the misfire is there at idle. No codes, and the car doesnt shake violently, but the idle is noticably rough. My friends have 99+gts and their cars dont shake like mine does at idle. Mine idles from 650-750, and I tried raising the idle with the predator, but it still pops from the exhaust and shakes at idle.
Cliff notes: Misfire at idle, no codes, removed predator tune- car runs stronger but misfire at idle is still there. Pulled plugs, soaked with oil on threads and midsection, boot and tip is dry. New plugs are in but misfire is still there.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Even after swapping out the cams,and getting the new pi heads under the tsb for the tic,and putting new plugs,it is still there.You really hear the miss when you gradually climb the rpm's in neutral.
