May not be your problem but,

I got my 1st CEL a few days ago and was misfiring like hell. My valve cover gasket was leaking oil around the spark plugs. Do you notice any oil around your plugs or wires?

Well chris, I bought a green one at my local Autparts place (same color as old one), brought it home was wrong plug, so i went back (with the old CTS and said I need this one! Looked it up on computer and found a blue one, got it today, and guess what, there two different sizes. Iam about to go back to return and see what they say. I looked on ECS tuning, and could not find the right one.

Here are some pictures of what it looks like. Chris, do you guys have these!
