Running Rough
Need a little help! Read all the articles I could on the subject of the 7.3 running rough and came to the conclusion it was my under valve cover plug. This fit my problem to a T so I checked the exhaust and found that after running a few seconds that the passenger side was still cold. I then found a quarter and started to work. I found that the plug was slightly loose and secured it back adding the quarter. Feeling good about it all I put it back together and found it was still running rough and exhaust was still cold. Any advice would be helpful
Still can't help feeling it is the plug

Welcome to FTE. Have you tried putting a meter on the connector to check the ohm readings at each pin? If you had a loose plug, did you inspect the pins before you plugged it back together to make sure none of them were burnt?
A bad injector solenoid can also cause one of the banks to shut down. Post back what ohm readings you get from the wiring and we'll figure out where to go from there.

I did the ohm check but found that it was inconclusive because there was not resistance and the meter read 0. I did not check to see if the plug was burnt I just pushed it in and wedged the coin. Hind sight you know!!!
