Misfiring, HELP!
Misfiring, HELP! Alright guys...My car has been running like crap lately, so I went to my local AutoZone to have them scan for codes and see what popped up with my car.
Here are the results:
I have 0 o2 sensors showing activity (2 non-existant due to header install, not running Simms)
I also have a misfire in cylinder #7.
My main concern is the misfire, I am going to replace the front o2 sensors this upcoming Saturday. Do you think this will also take care of the misfire issue, or am I looking at a much bigger, worse problem?
Thanks for any advise or opinions.

Re: Misfiring, HELP! check out your spark plugs maybe there loose or ssomething, number 7 should be on the right side it goes 1,3,5, and 7 so it should be in the very back if im not mistaken. i had the same problem a week ago and it was due to a loose wire on one of my spark plugs,and a wierd smell would come out of my exhaust which was probably cuz the gas wasnt getting burning and just oging straight through the exhaust.

My mods are really only a lid, true duals, and longtube headers.
