Re: FLP Rough on Car!!!HELP Did you check your spark plugs? You could have a damaged one--if they were in during your install. I damaged a plug when I did my install and my car ran like s$*t, it was doing pretty much everything that you mentioned about your car, it was missing and had no power at all in the low RPMs--along with the SES code flashing. Also, re-check your plug-wires, coil-packs etc...
Your cats will not make any difference in the problem you mentioned
Hope you fix it soon--you'll love your FLPs once you get your car running good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Actually, if the O2 simms were bad, the SES light would come on and stay on, just as if the rear O2 sensors were bad.
A flashing SES light usually indicates a sporadic misfire. The misfire may be caused by a loose or bad plug wire, bad plug, or faulty ignition coil. It is most likely a bad wire or plug...try making sure everything is tight and if that doesn't fix things, borrow ATAP from someone to track down the SES code.
