Well, if you know someone with autotap, or hptuners, efilive, etc. they could check for misfires, did this just start happening? or have you done a mod to your car recently? headers do make the car run rich in some peoples cases, every car is different. Are you still having a problem, getting worse or better?

I have the same thing, once I go above 3krpms and let off the pedal, my car sounds like a semi automatic. It's kind of annoying but I deal with it. I am hoping once I install my cam and get a tune it'll go away or reduce.

i put headers on my TA about a month ago, followed by a custom true daul 2 3/4 inch pipes no cats no mufflers. when i try and start it up it doesnt turn over, try again and it backfires, it'll either follow with another backfire or start up. ive noticed a lot of guys with this same problem. a buddy said it might be the wires so i bought some taylor thunderbolt wires, still doing it... i just put some ngk tr-55 spark plugs in when i put the headers on, have no clue whats causin it.
