My car isn't running right..Any suggestions? It feels like it's kind of missing and idle quality is not good. Does anyone know what this might be caused by? It's hard to start in the morning times as well.
Any advise will help.

Nick is it loading up?? You need to check the plugs and plug wires. I have a scanner if you need and I'm about to be on your side of tow in a couple of hours.

Problem lies in not having a solid roller stroker with a hidden direct port set up. GW2 is just saying it wants to skate from a 80 punch.

switch oils? switch gas you use, maybe add a oil additive like Lucas. What I did one time, is just seafoam the hell out of it, and change the oil, oil and fuel filters. It was right as rain after that. THink of it as a colon cleanse for your car.

If you've had the intake off, recheck the torque in all the bolts...
