well heres the deal. it started missing the other day pretty noticably at an idle. and when i rev it to about 3000 rpms in park it will pop through the mufflers. but it runs great at part or wot. so i took all the plugs and wires out and checked to see if any were fouled and they werent. so i thought maybe those factory wires were breaking down from the heat from the headers or something. heck i dont know. anyone else have this problem???????

did you notice any cracks by chance? or hit any plugs when the headers went in ? just another possibility. and make sure the wires are double clicked at the coil packs

id start with some tr55's and go from there. how many miles are on it?
or if you think the wires might have been stretched at all (on and off alot) then id definetly get some wires too
set of factorys youd be looking around 80 for a set not sure on the msds but i think there right about the same either will work fine

get some borg warners at oreillys. they have a lower resistance than most of the other wires.
