2005 V8 Tundra wants to skip or misfire a little under normal acceleration…have replaced plugs with OEM Irridium plugs but still have the skipping. Could it be the distributor caps that feed each plug? …never been replaced…200, 000 miles ---

Is the Check Engine light on? Blinking? Tester ---

The check engine light was on before I had the plugs replaced. It went out but skipping remains ---

I’d replace the spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor, if it has them. Edit - they’re not listed, so you just mean the spark plug caps, not ‘distributor caps’, right? Did you get the code read when the check engine light was on? ---

Trying looking for and cleaning any carbon trails on the inside of the spark plug coil over covers. Ive had an issue with moisture in the air and a carbon trail on the inside of the covers causing a resistive short which would cause random misfires. Cleaning them out fixed it.
