My Impala is misfiring badly on acceleration and startup. 05 Impala with a 3.4 L stock.

The only code that has been thrown is a random misfire code. It only throws the code if I continue to accelerate when I notice it misfiring. The CEL will flash before hand.

The fuel pressure is good, the ICM is new, the wires are new, the plugs look fine, and all three coils are new. There is a valve tick most of the time when the engine is running.

Just about to check the temperature before and after the catalytic converter.

I'm at a loss with this one.

Edit: 290* F before the cat, 390* F after the cat at idle and operating temperature.

Well I switched the plug wires, and got two mixed up, went to pull them off to switch them and they pulled apart too.

So I got those warranteed, and put in the new plugs, ac delcos. Now it's not misfiring.

So I pretty well had my entire ignition system go sour at once. Isn't that terrific?

Well at least it's fixed now.
