I have been having some issues with my 2002 GTS Roe supercharged Viper. Right now the code is a ( po 302 cylinder 2 misfire ) I just bought
new wires from ABs wires , Changed plugs I even changed the computer . The only thing I haven't done is the coil packs . Is there anything
else I should check. My Viper has 15,000 miles on it when you drive you can definitely feel that it is not firing on all the cylinders. The
number 2 spark plug when you pull it out is wet and unfired. Thanks for the help.

Are you sure the #2 wire is sending the spark to the plug? Can you check it (for arc) while disconnected with the engine running?

Correct if the wire boot is not on all the way ...and if no click was heard when intalling it.. might not be 100% on.. check all of them..and coil pack for that bank might be as you mentioned deprecated. I had the same problem with #4 plug not firing and becoming wet on my Vette two years ago..Coil pack went south..

Injector could be stuck open with some crap lodged in the pintle...Put a noid light on the injector and make sure its getting power too. If the noid light flashes normally, and you have spark when checking the wire, I'd say an injector has an issue...ergo the CEL its throwing.

Grounded the spark plug to the engine hooked up too number 2 wire and I have great spark. Took the car around the block
and still runs bad. I put a new Vec on reloaded the card and still runs like crap. Tim or Bottelfed was with me.
EllowViper will look at the injector and trie that as well.

I had 1Tony1 do my injectors about 2 years ago as I had them off the intake and figured why not. I think it was $10/injector. They were cleaned,flow tested, etc. and came back with a report. If you decide to remove your injector for cleaning or replacement, you will need new injector o-rings. VPA has them for $6 (1 kit per injector).

I had Tony do mine as well. Just one thing when you get them back...the solvent used can make them stick shut. So make sure you get a spare injector connector, an intermittant switch, some alligator clamps and a battery so you can hook each one up and cycle it on/off making sure its working. All 10 of mine were stuck shut and I didn't figure it out until after reinstalling the entire ROE back on the car. PITA. Lesson learned.
