ICM was tested and found to be bad. Repalced it and it's the same crap. Coils could not be tested, I'll have to find another place to test them.

Why couldn't they test the coils? Don't they have a ohm meter? Do you?

I have a small meter that can test ohms. What should it be?
Do I have to pull the whole fuel rail to get the injector connectors off to test the ohms on the injectors?

Primary should be around 1 ohm, and secondary should be around 6 to 7 k.

Thanks. Not sure when I'll be back on this, got a LIMG to do on the 3100. I need to look up the gaskets.

No. The plugs pull out without removing anything, but they are a bit of a pisser to get out sometimes. Squeeze the bottom "wire" clip on the bottom side of the plug UP (towards the hood) and gently pull the plug towards the front of the car.

Ok a bit of an update on this old topic. One injector was found to be bad and another was not doing well. They have both been replaced. Coils have been replaced because then new injectors didn't solve the missfire(still no code for that).
The idle is better and the engine is a bit stronger(still doesn't feel back to normal). Next week I'll check to see if it's still showing a high load. I'd say that the load is gone.

The trans still is double shifting around corners. After the coils were replaced it did a much smaller double shift.

Now I will change the crank sensor. Everytime I do something to the car it runs great for a few days and it's back to missing.

Crank sensor has been changed. I must say that I'm mad at the replacement parts that are sold. Even the GM one has a straight plug in for the pig tail. The stock one is 90* and makes it easy to take the starter out.
Engine still rocks for time to time. What the hell am I doing wrong?

is it possible you have a vacuum leak? I know the twin cams use a rubber seal for the intake to head its possible that with how much oil you loosing the gasket pushed out or flattened out?

Thanks Steph! Yeah I had just started thinking about a vacuum leak from the intake and other places.
Really all the oil is coming out of the rocker covers.

Carb spray test done, Steph is right it's the intake seals. Boy did I drop the ball on that one. Should be fixed next week.
