i just put my tranny back in my car started it up and it did great, but like the 3rd time i started it the car started back firing bad at idle.... no hesitation, no miss or anything... just a backfire coming outa the pipes... i have true duals and it was only coming outa one side.. also was doing while holding a steady throtle going down the road.... change my plugs new exhaust gaskets as i had a exhaust leak... started it back up and its still doing the same thing....i hammered on it and it ran great... pulled very very strong...im not sure wtf is going on here.. i just changed the wires about 8000 miles or so ago... coil packs have never been changed and its got over 150k on the clock.. possibly an issue or wouldnt that cause a misfire as well? anyhelp would be greatly apperciated guys thx...

That should be your front 02 sensors. Are they the factory 02 sensors?

thats what i thought... factory ummm well.... i misunderstood some advice from a friend sometime ago when i wasnt to hip about cars and really didnt know what i was doing with one....and well kinda took all the 02's off when i went true duals , cut all the lines off... i have know put knew lines on and will be installing the front 02's , i always wondered why my car ran alot harder when i got the codes cleared off
