Please help! Problem with headers
Had TPIS lt put on my car. If you just roll into the throttle everything is fine.But, if you nail it, it starts skipping pretty bad. I think the headers messed up myA/F ratio.Does anyone have any suggestions?BTW,they have been on for 2 days now,how many cycles should it take if the computer is going to adjust itself.
Thanks in advance :cry

Re: Please help! Problem with headers (redzone)
If the O2 sensors are swapped (wrong sides) it runs horrible. Based on your description (assuming you've had it up to 70mph and it runs okay) I'd check all your plug wires and make sure one isn't loose....
Computer usually adjusts within 50 miles...
You removed the packing peanuts from inside the headers right??? :jester (just kidding)

Re-check your spark plug wires. This happened to a buddy that just installed headers. When I installed mine I took special care with the plug wires. Absent that I'm not sure what the problem could be. Are there any codes recored in your DIC? That could solve the mystery.
Good luck
