did you gap the plugs before you put them in according to factory specs? improper gap can cause lots of issues

.060" is right. There are labels on the radiator cover. One of them tells you what the gap should be.

Ok So I need to check the ignition coil pack for cylinder 5 how would I go about that? Can Autozone do that? I had codes ran and it pulled a p305 cylinder 5 misfire I took the old bosch plugs out put ac delcos in and it ran lil better but when you floor the gas it stutters and hesitates under load, but cruising it drives fine...

Same Thing happened to me, I would get misfire under load. It turned out to be the coil pack. I took mine to autozone and they told me the coil pack was fine beause they checked for resistence. They can only tell you when it is completely out not when it is just malfunctioning. I didn't listen to them and I took the risk bought it and it fixed the problem. [8D]

You could just swap the coils around, and if you get a misfire on another cylinder, then it's probably your coil pack.
