ticking after TD install
got the car back from the shop today and after fixing a spark plug wire i noticed a random ticking coming from underneath the car... the engine responds to each one and surges a bit.... any idea as to why or what this is?
EDIT: also, when i get to around 45-55mph, it stutters (?) a bit... any clue there?

since you mentioned you messed with the spark plug wires, are you sure you have them all on snug and snaped in appropriatley. Its kinda hard to feel sometimes. My car had a bad wire and was arking. It was making a ticking noise because of it and my car spuddered when it did it. At night you could see the ark pretty easily

got autozone to read the codes for me... there were 3 different accounts of a bad O2 sensor, i'm assuming thats 2 for the ones i removed and one that i didn't, so i'm going to replace those tomorrow and see what happens

i'm not sure what you mean by tight
but, i did replace the O2's with "factory replacement" Bosch 13444 sensors, and i removed all the plug wires and reinstalled them, the ticking seems to have gone away for now, tho the car still seems down on power... (could it be because i'm running LTs without a proper tune?)
