Holy punctuation man!!! Sure all the plugs are gapped correctly? I've never heard of a plug throwing a code. If it did throw one, did you scan the computer to pull up what code? That may point you to a specific cylinder that is having a problem. Thats where I would start.
a plug can throw a code that will indicate a misfire, not actually tellin you what the problem is, and you wont be able to get a code if the check engine light doesnt stay on, i had sorta the same problem when i first got my D, turned out to be the dist. cap, but you said you have new stuff there. i guess id just check out the cap and plugs and all, and as ray said, make sure the plugs are gapped correctly.

sounds just like what i just dealt with. Go to a advance auto or auto zone have them read the code( storted for like fourty starts even if it's not on at the time or the scan) if ur cap, rotor, plugs and wire are all new i would get the code and and check that injector. and go from there
