Default Engine miss

Hey guys i have a 98 Z and its been acting up latley once you start it up and take off it will cut out and miss,but if you give it more throttle it quits untill you ease off, but once you drive it for like 10 miles or so it will quit all together. It has 2 oxygen sensor codes because they are reading slow where i had to extend them for my headers but they have been that way for over a year and it has just recently been cutting out so i dont know for sure if that is my problem or not. I would appreciate any help.

Did you extend the wires yourself or did you buy extentions?

Now your starting to sound like me Josh.lol ...put the extensions on it....if you dont have a scan tool then bring it out the house and i'll clear the codes after you put your extensions on and see if that takes care of it. The only charge will be 1 race, at my location, with my rules
