Bad Spark plug? I have a huge loss of power, and my car has started to back fire once it comes back to idle. I am assuming that it is because of a bad spark plug. I had all new spark plugs put in with the cam install(20,000) miles ago. I just recently rehooker my AIR, it was leaking, but there is still a light tick on the driver side only (not the springs). And its running richer than normal. Any help would be great.
Get a Scanner and check all of the Sensor readings.. are they any codes ?
When did u feel a lose of power.. right after the Cam and Plug change.. or after the AIR was reconnected ? or somewhere in the middle ?

It happened after I reconnected my AIR. My AIR was leaking for some time, and just had time last week to replace the plastic T pipe and tube. I am going to scan for codes. I think its the spark plug because only on that one side is it ticking. I guess the best way to describe it, take off one of your spark plug wires, and that sound it makes. I just dont want to spend the money on spark plugs and that not be the case.
