Miss after header install I have a bad miss that started about 100-150 miles after my header install. Found out it is running VERY rich, because of a leak. So i fixed that, replaced the plugs, went with the OTVC kit. However I only replaced the ones on the passenger side, since the ones on the driver side look fine still. But, i cant seem to get the front one on the passenger side out. I just cant seem to get any of my tools in there to get it out. Any suggestions on that. Also do you think the plugs/wires were the cause of my miss. The opti is about 5000 miles old, so I dont think that is it, atleast I hope not. But sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.

Go to A sears and look for a "Q ratchet set" it has a hole in the middle of it so the spark plug will go into the ratchet . The thing works great.
As far as the miss, i would just say to check all ur wires , and plug gaps, Somthing has to be loose or broken.

I just cut a spark polug socket down to about 1.5" and drilled out the ratchet hole so the plug can go through. You have to use a wrench to turn it but it works great. I can do plugs and wires in less than an hour with it!
