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...

If you can let it set overnight, try copper gasket maker. http://www.permatex.com/products/automotiv...asket_maker.htm The guys running turbos around here swear by it. I'm currently using it instead of buying gaskets and i haven't had any leaks. It will not work for the upper manifold but all others it'll work just fine.

As for the missfire, figure out which cylinder it is and go from there. Try pulling off each spark plug wire and you can find out which cylinder isn't firing. Did you gap the plugs before you put them in? Are the spark plug wires on snug?
