Default please help

ok the car is misfiring. it runs fine for a mile but it just randomly stutters and the light flashes. And if you get it up in the rpms alittle it will just come back to normal. dont understand. it is definitely a dead miss. just changed the wires and am heading back to buy plugs to see if thats the problem. any info would be greatly appreciated.......

Have it scanned...see if it is missing on one cylinder or more and then go from there. It would save time than just taking random guesses.

Default fixed it

changed the o2 sensors and its back to normal. used rear o2 sensors out a c5 corvette. worked well. longer so only one connection. from what i have read the connection under the car is what gets wet and messes them up. hope this helps someone else later on.
