    What is the problem? My son had a #6 miss fire. Changed plugs, wires, coil pack, and swapped fuel injectors. Still no fix. Used some AMSOIL engine foam. 1 can and cleared his code. If I'd did not see it I would not believe it.

    Try a clamp on amp meter. See if you have any drain reading. Start pulling fuses and see if it stops No amp meter, try a multi-meter in line with the negative post. Just don't try to start up it with the meter hooked up.
