sounds to me like you got a miss or a tuning issue.

Probably burnt or damaged wiring on the front O2 sensors.

do you at least have the y-pipe still on it? my boy was running his T/A open headers, and it ran rich and hell. the O2 sensors were getting too much open air, even while driving. Solid motor mounts, and a poly. tranny mount will help with the vibrations.

well got the car today with the exhaust back on, drives seriously like a honda its the smoothest thing ever, no vibrations, no shifter jerking no anything, had no idea exhaust had that much to do with the problem. I am thinking about changing the clutch though to something a little less sensitive i've got a cartek in there now its not too hard or anything just very very sensitive. As for the oil pressure i guess it was my driving on the ramps that caused it? Still throwing SES codes as for which ones i have no idea i'll go check that out soon. oh yeah deerpark muffler ftw cant beat the price or quality of it.
