Default 98 GT Bucking

Well it isnt doing it anymore. Im thinking the culprit was some bad gas.

Default 98 GT missing

I retarded the timing a little more and nothing, just made the car slower. Now im thinking the problem may lie in a spark plug i pulled off earlier today. I dont think its clicking onto the plug when i mash it in.

edit: I replaced the plugwires and its still missing.........wtf. Im lost now. I have no idea what it could be. It just suddenly started this yesterday.

Thanks bud lol. Its really bugging me cause ive only had the car a little over a week. I havent done anything to it besides screw with the timing today and i pulled like 2 plug wires just to look around. I really think the plug wire isnt clicking down all the way. Im going to get some needle nose tomorrow and try to pull the metal prong out alittle further inside the plug insulator and see if i can get it to click.
