Car now 100% perfect, thanks for all the help,

Just an FYI to all, watch out for some of the "experts" on here, they like to have you change parts, its not there money.
Good deal.

Spanky, glad you found your issue. I am sorry that I was not able to diagnos your car which is approximately 2,000 miles away. If it truely is a ECM connector issue it should have shown in doing random diagnostics. Sorry you were not able to relay that portion to me.

On a misfire you will have a couple of issues that boils down to the problem. Installing new coils or injectors solves those problems at a rate of 99.9999999%

PCM = ECM ? The ECM has four connectors. This is a very weird failure since the Weatherpack connectors are pretty much bullet proof. How many hours did the dealer charge you for? I'd still be looking ....

Yeah I was kinda wondering about that as I was not sure where the PCM was Im assuming the ECM as well. I heard those connecters can corrode as well as the connectors to the Quad drivers

I also have changed parts,taken parts off just to put them back on i did this a bunch of times,i lost count.
I have ported parts and reported parts.

It's wierd everytime i take it down the track i have this silly grin on my face looks like this

It's all Chevrolet and Doug Rippies fault for making the Snake Skinner.
I am so mad at them i can scream.

Pete
