Alright I just installed headers, off road y and had a full tune. Right after I had it done I noticed that when I sit at idle and the car warms up it "missfires". It will happen over and over and I'm scared to go anywhere thinking that it will just die on me. I was told it could be injectors or something else.. it isn't throwing any codes at all. I can hear it popping out of the exhaust cutout..
BTW the spark plugs are all brand new so they aren't cracked.
I'm going to try and get a video of the sound tomorrow so I can better explain it maybe someone will know what it is.
Any suggestions or expirences with this?

Plug wires broken or not fully seated?

I know you said that the plugs are brand new, but did you actually look closely at each one when you put them in. On time on my van I pug in plugs and it ran like ****. Took them back out and then found one of the brand new ones was cracked!!!

The plug wires are old.. it may be them I could try doing that tomorrow.
The plugs themselves were fine.

Maybe a plug wire too close to the header and arcing across. It's dark out now. Pop the hood and start it up. Look for fireworks.

a video will help alot. make sure to get under hood by plug wires, injectors etc. also get a good quality sound clip from the exhaust.

02 sensors.

Headers often foul them out, and sometimes it takes a while for a code to pop up.

Here's your clue - it runs fine cold, but when it's warm (and starts taking feedback from o2's) it runs bad...

OP said when its warming up it missfires.

I guess it's a matter of semantics then - "when it warms up" to me = when the car is warm it has a problem.

hmm.. I don't know how to be sure what it is, I don't have a lot of money to throw around replacing stuff.

Okay here is the link to the video you can hear it making the continuous popping sound... btw turn the volume up loud to hear it

When i installed my headers my car was missing and smoken just a little on idle was my o2 sensor good luck with it tough bro...

I might have to take another one, it didn't seem to pick up that well. There was a plastic ding noise because I accidently hit my camera. I can hear the sound better near the end where it sounds like a train, it's actually popping.
