Default misfire and pedal issues

Having an issue with both my acceleration and plugs. Just got all plugs replaced because of a resent misfire and still sounds like im getting on and on top of that my damn gas pedal won't either pressed down like it should or come back to its regular position im thinking the spark wires may be the issue why im still getting a misfire because i bought some cheap Autozone wires to put together and for the pedal im guessing the cord is the issue all advice is welcome

are you getting "random misfire" codes from the computer?

if the pedal is toguh to push or won't come back, it's probably not the cable. Do the upside down on your back contortion and look for any obstructions at the pedal

are you saying that you are constantly down a cylinder or is it more a random thing and clears itself up most of the time?

I think you have a six banger, right?

I'm too lazy to see if it's a coil per cylinder or what.

If it is, can you swap them around (again, unfamiliar with the six)

if you can swap them, then do it and see if the problem moves.

I'd also re-check all of my plugs and wires

midas charged me 300 bucks in labor and 180 in parts or so. but i am sure since they''re backed by a franchise agreement in which they can lose their franchise license, they would get original plugs that fire real strong. the camaro is a hard to get to car when doing a tune up. i subscribe to it's kind of better to take it to a high-rating-general-mechanic with lots of great customer service reviews on yelp and elsewhere. Pep boys etc. You want a tune up right the 1st time, that's my other motto. I pay a bit more for peace of mind. Enjoy your New Year and peace.
