  • Wierd running problem

    Ok, so I go to drive my car a little bit today, and it was running fine. I get it about a mile away from home, and it starts missing, backfiring a little and it had absolutely no power at all. I shut it off, restart it and it runs fine again for another mile, then starts doing it again. Mind you, a week ago it ran perfect for 50 miles. I did pull a spark plug and it looked kinda bad, so Im gonna replace them anyway, but does anyone know what the heck is wrong?

            Did you change the wires when you swapped the opti?

              No because the wires are MSD 8.5 and they were on the car for about two weeks before I did the opti, so I didnt change them

                  Nope, no code, and the cat has been taken out and pipe is welded in its place since ive had it. The thing that I dont understand is why it just decided to do it today, and it fixes it self for a mile once its shut off and restarted

                            Cant be the fuel filter cause that too is less than 5k miles old. I pulled 2 plugs already and one of them didnt have any white spot on the fireing point, so Im assuming that the plugs were bad. Now, the EGR, how could I check out if its bad or not
