Hey guys, this is whats going on. I changed my headers full exhaust, sparkplug wires and put in a new tranny. The problem is that the car is turning off when rolling, so I have to put it on neutral and turn the car back on. Its turning off very often, I really dont know why.!! What do you all think is the problem, could it be that a sparkplug wire isnt on right??? Or what do you'll think???

Could be a intake leak. Or the plug wires may not be on good. They have to make a double click when they go on. You have to push pretty hard on them to get them to do this.

thanks man, I hope thats it. When I get home first thing I will do is that. I know I will have to get it tuned cause I put the ssf3500 on it and it kind of wants to die out on me in reverse. Really dont think that has anything to do with it but still think its necessary, right??

to tell you the truth, the only light that comes out is check gauges and the SES gauge. So what do you think?
