Wouldnt it most likely fail CA smog if the 02s were bad? the car passed the tough CA Smog the other day with flying colors
sorry for all these stupid questions.. Im used to the 80s motores since thats all i owned until now. Im used to getting out of the car smelling like a walking oil station

Well what kind of car are you driving? First thing I would do is to check your spark plugs and see what they look like, and make sure they are tight and that the wires are all the way into the plug. Another thing, at night get your car to running temp which is around 210 for lsX and ltx engines, open your hood and If you see a blue spark that means that your wires are bad, believe me I've gone thru all this crap! And like others said check your 02 sensors as well

I had it dropped off at a shop to get some parts added on and they said they would look around.. They said it was indeed a misfire and it could be anything from compression issues or coils and stuff. Doubt its compression related since it does run very good just that higher rpm misfire
So now im paying 250 bucks for the plugs
At that price I could open a shop and keep it afloat with customers like you.
Good for business, bad for the average joes who dont know crap about home wrenching!
I hope you get her back up to par!
plugs Yeah, I just got my Fbod and had the same problem. Car hadn't been driven at all in last 3 years and was sputtering bad. Got plugs and wires, spent 5 hours and changed them myself. Fixed the problem perfectly!
It took at while, but dunno if I was at the $250 frustration level though
Save some $$ and try it yourself. You'll get to know your car at an intimate level LOL
