Got the misfire fixed. had a random misfire in cyl. 6, turned out to be a bad plug wire and ignition module. replaced the ignition coil too for safe measure as i already had a new one.This is what i had to do to get to the dang plugs...

I don't think it has sensors for the T-tops cause i can take them out and lock the car. the hood doesn't have a sensor, but the hatch does.
