Yes the Goe just had new plugs put in a month ago. New cap, rotor. The wires were only 1 year old or so, My brother took a look at it and pulled the plug wire out of the 2nd cilinder and he said it sounded weak. Which could be why it is misfiring I don't know. Hubby put new wires on 3 days ago and it hasen't fixed the problem. One of the wires to that cinlinder was kinda broken and the plugs seem to be fowling out also. Brother said because of the misfiring, The car does have a lot of milaleage on it. Mostly highway. ty

You can easily damage the plug lead if they are pulled to hard, you should gently pull and twist at the same time, i would do a compression test next and try swapping over 2 plugs to see if it is a faulty new plug, try this next.
