Code Help!!!
Took the car out for a drive today and it kicked 3 codes...
p0200 - Injector Circuit
p0300 - Random Misfire
p1431 - Misfire Monitor Disable
I should mention that the car just had a Procharger installed recently. I installed a new set of wires (callaway) and plugs (delco iridiums) about 3000 miles ago. The car has had a click in the radio not the cd player since the wire install. Callaway says that is not indicative to their wires therefore, not the wires fault. Could this have something to do with these codes or should I look elsewhere? Also, the car is running pretty rough.

Misfire
Is the misfire pinpointed to one cylinder? The noise in the radio is a clue. remember the old Vettes and the shielding? If the shielding was off you could not listen to the radio. A scan tool will tell which cylinder is causing the missfire. It sound like you have a bad wire or plug. If you have not thrown the old wires away, I would replace the new ones one at a time to see if the noise goes away. Another process would be to just get one wire and replace the wires one at a time.
The old adage is if it was not doing it before you changed something, change it back.
You might also want if all else fails, to take it to a dealer and have them hook up their diagnostic tool.
I have a Ranger pickup that gets a misfire about once every two months. I bought a diagnostic tool from Pep Boys for about $80. It tells me that the failure is P0006 which is cylinder 6. In my case I changed the ignition module, wire, and plug. Only thing left is the injector or injector wiring but I can live with a code every two months!

look else where
You need to troubleshoot this code first..It would relate to rest.
One of your injectors is not working properly or has a bad connection,
A while back I had to fix a p0200 condition, turned out somebody had the intake off,
obviously removed the injector harness, and when they did the install they did not have the fuel injector connector locked on all the way.
Also could have an injector with a bad coil.

Check the injector connectors and make sure they are secure. The Procharger install would have required them be removed to install new injectors.

Man, you are right on...got to lookin under there and the mechanic that installed my procharger failed to lock on the fuel injector connector on the passenger rear side. Gotta tell you though, I fought with it for 35mins and still couldn't get it to click
Then, I noticed that the plastic frame on the connector had been broken...probably by the "pro" installer during the procharger install. Anyway can these be replaced? I secured mine down with a zip tie for time being so the car won't throw anymore codes.
