    soon want dual lockers Picture was my 85 dual arb great
    sorry to hear.
    I propose you clean all grounds, and open each electric contact easy to reach,
    clean with dremel round wire brush, add dielectric grease and put back together. I usually do
    this when all is good, but today you are screwed.
    need now age of plug wires. I am changing mine soon just to have new
    wires and avoid issues like this. i do 600 miles a week in my 98 and change parts before
    they die.

    mikes 2 cents.

    I have done all the hi-pro mods for a life time, since I got this truck at a great price, I will be happy with showroom new.

    go through this step-step. this is a serious problem.
    don't drive your truck, you can do serious damage to the engine, and destroy your cat. very fast.
    and use OEM parts....

    Well I did also check both the cam and crank sensors and they have both check out. Was looking through various pids on my code reader and found that my second o2 sensor is getting zero volts and randomly peaking about a volt. Ill investigate further and let you guys know. I have also been following the step by step procedures via all data.

    most of the time when ive seen the "p0300 random cyl misfire" code its been either a maf or coil, id check the coil since you said you already changed your maf
