so my car is missfiring...like nothing serious, but when i come to a complete stop, i can feel my car missfire...
the engine was rebuild about 2000 miles ago so i dont think it should be anything major... when i rebuild the motor, i installed a new distributer, recently (2 weeks ago) changed the wires, and the plugs were new (never installed) but they WERE sitting in my garage for 6-8 months before installation. what should i do?? the only thing i think i DID do wrong was that i didnt get the 1st oil change 1500 miles after the build...so could that cuz this?? i just followed the haynes repair manual... and i know i have a bad header gastet...the triangle one at the bottom...ive got ebay headers and cant find a new gaset... -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

its not going to help your misfire, but the correct.. or correct-er gasket for the ebay header is the donut style that the car uses stock. Go to your local autoparts store and get the stock type donut gasket, it still leaks a bit but not nearly as bad as the one the header comes with.

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
