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

well its not a really all that bad...i already tried pulling each wire out but it only makes it worse...like it should i guess...
and no i didnt gap them...the auto part store said they were pre-gapped for the car... this might help: i used DENSO "twin tipped platinum" spark plugs...didNOT gap them BOSCH wires. and it miss fires every4-5 seconds... -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
