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

the platinum plugs might be your problem. on the newer celicas with COP (coil on plug) you really need to use an iridium or copper plug. for some reason the platinum just dont work. but on the older cars it might not be an issue.
