burned spark plug wires, now running rough
i got my truck tuned up at pep boys(replaced wires also). a few days later the truck starts running really rough and blowing smoke. turns out they didnt use a harness so my spark plug wires got burned on something that gets very hot.(very badly burned, all plastic coating was gone in about a 1/2" strip)
i brought my truck to toyota to get new wires. they installed them with a harness so there not touching anything hot.
the problem is that the truck is still running rough(the whole truck shakes) for about 15 seconds at startup only. then like a minute after starting will blow smoke for about 1 minute.
after that it runs fine. anyone have any idea what this is? i already have like 400 bucks into this damn tuneup. i dont want to just drop it off at toyota they rape me. i dont really trust anyone else either.
