bad coilpack
check with multimeter
and a spark light
if u have a wire specialtys harness
and u hooked it up properly
theres no reason u should have an
issue with that for sure

See i figured with the ws harness it would be plug and play and run perfect, cause it ran great yesterday, but now it has a bad miss

Sounds like the harness is fine, if it "worked" yesterday. Refer to what JDMRIDDAZ says, something else went wrong.

The harness that was on it was a "converted" harness and it ran fine. I'm gonna check my grounds and hopefully it'll fix it

sounds like mechanical timing

It could be. How do I reset the timing on it?

okay update: i replaced the knock sensors with the new knock sensor sub harness and nothing changed. then i started the car and unplugged coilpack 1, when i did nothing changed. i plugged it back in and checked the others, when i would unplug the others it would run worse. i then unplugged coilpack 6 and it idled higher?? idk whats going on!!
