Default car runs like crap some times.

GOD DAME MOTHER FUCKETTY **** ****

Thought my car was all set from a previous time it was screwing up like this.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...6#post10212186

Went to the track yesterday and it did it to me on my last 2 runs ran great as long as i kept driving but it seems when the car sits and then it is called upon to fight it chickens out on me and has a bitch fit scenario.

first run out ran good pulled a 13.2 the second run after the car sat for a bit did a burn out ran ok then launched car cut out ran like crap but I stayed in it and by the time I got it to go in the bottom of 3rd (2500 rpms) it went and pulled a 15.6. I had 1/4 tank so I went out onto the highway and whaled the **** out of it and it ran fine went to sunoco and filled up with 93 beat on it on the way back to the track and it ran fine. Then I went back to the pits and hung out for about 1.5 to 2 hours then it was time to run again. Got into the staging lanes sat for about 30 min lined up did a big burn out and lined up at the tree. Launched and then about 1/2 way through first it just started cutting out and missing and running like crap almost like i was hitting a revlimmeter or having a torque management problem but I know it was nether rpms where only like 3000 and I am M6. So all the way home it ran fine even I hammered it a few times and it ran awesome. so now i am lost and pissed off.

PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME IM PULLING MY HAIR OUT.

check engine light flashing or on? if its flashing its something with your coil packs most likely, if one goes out itll usually idle bad.

maybe you broke some sparkplugs or wires when you did your header install? People have cracked spark plugs before.
