i am having it now after installing nitrous and headers. And there is a miss every so often while idling. I am gonna go check plugs and wires but list up what you did and what you found to be the problem?

ok, i do have extra wires(stock) and i do have extra plugs (tr55s). i went and checked the plug wires to see if they were all on tight and they were. so now i'll check the plugs. only problem is i have drill this weekend so no mech work can happen till monday. engine pulls just fine tho.

i do have a semi new tune. installed it last week. my ses light stays on cause of no cats and the tuner can't get the light to stay off. only new mods are headers and nitrous. i have only sprayed 6lbs of gas through the motor but all the variables seem fine as in fuel/nitrous mixture, and crap like that.

this could be a possiblity. i just noticed that the engine had a miss to it while in a drive through..i just got done driving too so it will be too damn hot to pull a plug right now to check.

thanks for your replies fellas.
